If someone questions the greatness of this compilation, the
first this that comes to mind is: What is wrong with you! To put it simply; this album is chock full of
good music, such that if you are going to buy an album, no matter what walk of
life you are in, you should be impressed with this one. It’s not like some jazz that is only for
elites. Portrait of Wes should make the
beginner want to practice, but it is more than that. It is both dinner time jazz and jazz that can
be the center of attention. It is not
only all those wonderful things it is also music that should appeal to even a
musical snob such as myself. However,
most importantly, it easier for me to imagine that regular people will like
this more than the work of Miles Davis, such that one doesn’t even have to like
Miles to be thrilled by Portrait of Wes.
