Nostalgia in Grand Place : Wes Montgomery • Tribute
Guillaume Gillain (dr) ; Joachim Caffonnette (p) ; Victor Foulon (b) ; tba (dr)
Wes Montgomery is a true jazz legend and one of the most influential guitarists of all time.
His sound, both subtle and fiery, instantly recognizable by his thumb-picking technique and lyrical phrasing, redefined jazz guitar in the 1960s.
From bop to soul jazz, from intimate trios to lush orchestrations, Montgomery carved a path where virtuosity and emotion became one.
This afternoon, guitarist Guillaume Gillain pays tribute to him in quartet — a return to the essence of a refined, soulful playing style, echoing the warmth and depth of the man who made the guitar sing like a human voice.
