Wes Plays Wes

Event Description

The Wes Carroll Confabulation walks the tight-rope, balancing detailed arrangements with the power of spontaneity. Since early 2015, they have honed their unique blend: stretching out into a world of hip-hop grooves, soul and electricity while not losing their jazz footing.

This performance will be a tribute to the music of American Jazz Guitarist Wes Montgomery. Montgomery was probably the most influential postwar improviser on his instrument.

Known for his unusual techniques of plucking the strings with the side of his thumb and his extensive use of octaves, which gave him a distinctive sound.
