2023.05.08 Mark Whitfield on Wes Montgomery - 3 of 3

When the centennial of an artist as singular and inventive and influential and expressive as Wes Montgomery passes, one Deep Focus is not enough.  Several weeks ago, Rodney Jones brought us a whole new appreciation for Wes.  Can Mark Whitfield do it again?        This Monday (5/8), Mark takes a deep dive into the WKCR archives on Mitch Goldman's Deep Focus.  Not only are we going to play some never-released live recordings from the NYC nightlife of 1965, but what about that supposed recording of Wes playing alone in a hotel room?  Talk about crypto-jazzology, right?!   This Monday (5/8) 6p to 9p EDT on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD and wkcr.org.   Next week it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/ and your favorite podcasting app.   #WKCR #JazzAlternatives #WesMontgomery #MarkWhitfield #DeepFocus #MitchGoldman #JazzInterview #JazzGuitar #JazzPodcast   Photo credit: Wes_Montgomery_ Photo first published by Gibson.
