It's 1965. Wes Montgomery has been on the scene for more than 2 decades but he is just emerging as a major pop star. He has hit singles on the charts and he is touring major European concert venues. But in New York, he plays a series of shows at a small club on Spring Street called the Half Note. It's the spot downtown where all the cats check each other out.
For this episode, recorded on the actual centennial of Wes Montgomery's birth, you are a fly on the wall of the Half Note for some true musical magic. Our guide is a genuine adept of all things Wes: master guitarist Rodney Jones.
