Help Wes Montgomery - Caravan
Hello! I was sitting here wondering if anyone would have some sort of transcription of this version of caravan. It was one of the first tunes I heard by Wes, and I really like it! I'm afraid that it would be to hard for me to try to transcribe atm, but if any of you have played this and can give me some advice or something, I would be very happy! It is on the record "Movin' Wes" btw!

Sorry, can't help you with the transcription, but Wes's Caravan on Movin' Wes is one of my favorite recordings. You have good taste!

I think the great Henry Johnson does pretty much the same chording on this version.

Maybe this is transcribed somewhere, but from a quick look at the video it looks like he's playing something like:

I don't know of a transcription of "Caravan" but if anyone is interested I have decided to sell some of my Wes memorabilia.

Books:

WES MONTGOMERY BOOKS

Autograph:

Please send me an E-Mail or PM if interested?

@ Gersdal

I know why you fell off the Camel. It was all those Carlsberg Elephant Beers. I had a bunch of those when I visited DK back in 1992 at that Copenhagen club, the JazzRoom. I fell off my camel too.

Great jazz club! However, I'm mostly keen on the English Old Speckled Hen and beer like it. They also gives a good kick
