  • @room128 Is that the drummer?

  • One person is Kenny G

  • Yeah! The legend Joe Pass on his '62 Fender Jaguar.

    Jazz/surf rock were the intended market for the Fender Jazzmaster/Jaguar; Joe Pass used both Jazzmasters and Jaguars.

    As he shows here; the Fender Jaguar has a great tone for Jazz: rich and fruity!

    I have a Sunburst '66 and use it for Jazz all the time with '13 flatwounds on; great guitars!

    RIP Joe and thanks for posting this; peace out.

  • Cooking !!!

  • I've also seen pictures of him playing a Tele and a Jazzmaster.

    Does anyone know the names of the guys in the band?

  • My gosh, he's playing a Fender.

  • I think his single line chops were stronger befoe he started playing solo guitar.

  • this video is gold.

  • Wow, he really developed his own style 10 years after this.

  • very similar to Pat Martino's approach.

  • my favorite joe pass, his virtuoso stuff is amazing obviously, but i just love the song is you.

  • I love the way he sounds on a solid body! LMAO

  • @jessthehorse Unreal. I get the funny feeling that Joe could have played (and gotten killer tone out of) Sears- Roebuck Silvertone.

  • @rayjr62 - well, I am biased but I suspect you are right about that. I studied with Joe. When I first went back to Jr College, I wanted to expand out of R & B and Rock so I called some of the very names of Jazz who were teaching. They all sounded very clinical on the phone and turned me off. Then I worked up the courage to call Joe and he just said "what are ya doing Saturday and oh, by the the way, I don't teach reading". It was his warmth that enabled him to out-swing his contemporaries IMO!

  • One of my favorite performances... Joe and the "Jag"

  • I love it that he's playing it on a Fender "Jaguar" guitar and Fender amp, like he's going to bust out some surf riffs.

  • very nice

  • What more can one say regarding jazz guitar? Pacific Jazz era Joe Pass  up there with Wes and charlie Christian. YEAH !!
