NoteNotes:
There are at least 6 or 7 bootlegs of this show, each 1 CD, all incomplete.
The 2 bootleg CDs I sourced this seed from have all but 1 of the tracks available from this show.
"To When" (Mabern) is missing.

Disc 1: "Full House" (Le Jazz CD 13, Charly 1993)
Disc 2: "'Round Midnight" (Affinity/Charly CD 13, 1986)

I did not include "Jingles" from the second boot because it is 12 seconds shorter.
I included "'Round Midnight" from both bootlegs: they are essentially the same,
except d1t05 fades out earlier than d2t04 during the applause at the end.
Since all the tracks on the second disc fade out, you can burn without the duplicate track.

AMG reviews (for track names):

Impressions (Affinity/Charly 13)
AMG REVIEW: Right in the middle of his Verve period, Wes Montgomery took off on his only European tour, stopping at Paris' Theatre des Champs Elysees for a concert that yielded several imported LPs from 1978 onward. Armed only with the serviceable piano trio of Harold Mabern (piano), Arthur Harper (bass) and Jimmy Lovelace (drums), Montgomery demonstrates to all doubters that commercial success had not affected his ability to play straightahead, swinging, small-group jazz one iota. The tune mislabeled "Wes' Rhythm" (actually "Twisted Blues") is an extraordinary example of Montgomery stretching out — starting with just Wes, bass and drums and developing into full, shouting call-and-response chords and octaves. "Four on Six" is another driving example of the Montgomery improvisational formula while "Impressions" is looser and more wayward than the famous live version with the Wynton Kelly Trio. Mabern's post-bop and modal ideas sometimes run somewhat ahead of his technique, but he does contribute a challenging uptempo piece, "To When." The live remote recording quality, though mono, is excellent on this LP; you'll hear every detail clearly. — Richard S. Ginell

Solitude (Affinity/Charly 18)
AMG REVIEW: Here's more from the memorable 1965 Paris concert where Montgomery allowed himself the freedom to stretch out and re-explore the hard bop idiom that wowed the connoisseurs in the beginning. There is some mislabeling to watch out for; the track entitled "Mister Walker" is actually "Jingles" taken at a furiously burning speed and "To Django" is really a mellow treatment of "The Girl Next Door." The high point of the LP is the extended small-group treatment of Wes' bossa-nova version of "Here's That Rainy Day," in which he comes up with some lovely ideas that he would use two months later when he recorded it with strings. Finally on "'Round Midnight," Johnny Griffin sits in with an intimate ballad tone and a few of his lightning runs, though Wes is still the center of attention. If anything, the sound here is even better than that on Impressions. — Richard S. Ginell

Live in Paris (France's Concert FCD 108)
AMG REVIEW: Relatively few examples exist of Wes Montgomery's live performances; this concert at the Theatres des Champs Elysees, recorded for broadcast in France, is a welcome addition to his discography. The late guitarist takes the lion's share of the solos space and doesn't disappoint, sounding out fresh ideas with clean execution and never playing one chorus too many. Tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin sits in on "Full House" and the medley of "Blue and Boogie" with "West Coast Blues." Memphis pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Arthur Harper and drummer Jimmy Lovelace provide a good foundation for the soloists, but aren't really featured. Worth acquiring if you can find it. — Ken Dryden
