Wes Montgomery – Here’s That Rainy Day – Transcription
I’ve just added a transcription of a great chorus of single note playing by the unassailable Wes Montgomery. It’s on the standard Here’s That Rainy Day, but this isn’t the version from his Bumpin’ album with strings, it’s a live quartet version from 1965. Check it out on the Wes transcriptions page of the site.
Quintet gig at The Bull’s Head Barnes
Looking forward to this one. 7:30pm this coming Sunday (14th May). A chance to air out some of my originals as well as some classics which don’t always get performed. Myself and Ayo Akintonwa on guitars, Ben Treacher on alto, Martin Young – bass, John Park – drums. Joining us for several numbers in each set will be the young and talented singer Samantha Grefsheim.
