La imposibilidad de obtener una lista oficial,en orden cronológico,de la discografía de Wes unida a la facilidad que tienen las discográficas para sacar colecciones y material inédito,hizo que me propusiera ,al hacer este monografico,de aferrarme a un listado de discos que encontre en Wikipedia.......pero hay tanto de Wes y tan bueno,que a partir de ahora voy a mandar a paseo el orden de discos que encontre en Wiki y sencillamente voy a compartir todo lo que tengo......
Este disco esta sacado del programa de radio "Portraits in Jazz"presentado por Alan Green en el Half Note de Nueva York los dias 12 y 19 de Febrero de 1965.......no tiene ni un segundo de desperdicio,que lo disfruteis.saludos,PPJZZ.
