October 22-24, 2010: Fall Guitar Festival at Five Towns College

Information and Tickets: here

Barry Galbraith “Guitar In The Wind”

Hello fellow jazz guitarists,

      Barry Galbraith recorded an album under his own name called “Guitar In The Wind” . The session had a small wind ensemble with scored parts and Barry improvised.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with his son or family members who may know the wereabouts  of the scores/parts?

Our guitar ensembles at Five Towns College (Dix Hills) would benefit greatly from playing this material. Any help in this matter is well appreciated.

Wes Montgomery “Fusion” charts

Jimmy Jones wrote absolutely beautiful charts for the album ‘Fusion”.

Here at Five Towns College (Dix Hills,NY) we are considering doing a tribute to Wes and would like to perform some of these numbers with an orchestra.

Anyone know where the scores might be located? Many musicians have not listened to the album carefully as the writing is first rate and to my mind is at the level of the scoring of “Lady In Satin”.

Wes Montgomery Live Broadcasts

During the late 1950′s and early sixities Wes toured with his brothers and later with Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb. Rumor has it that there are some CD’s available of performances at the Half Note in NYC probably broadcast with radio personality Alan Grant moderating. Does anyone out there have these? Please let me now as I am doing a research paper and transcriptions of Wes playing live.
