Saw him live in San Diego at the Horton Plaza Palace Grand hotel bar about a month before he died. Got to meet him afterward, shake hands and compliment him on a great show. He was very gracious and friendly.

@stevetadworkz wow, I would've loved to do that

Joe pass is the boss.

That is some incredible solo guitar playing...

[localcrew]

One of my favorite solo guitar pieces of all time. Found it on a compilation cd years ago and was quite naturally blown away. Big Joe Pass fan now, of course! What a talent.

Joe Pass is not dead. He merely changed skin and started calling Himself Tosin Abasi. :P

But seriously this is beautiful, and it would not surprise Me in the slightest if it turned that Joe Pass was one of Tosin Abasi's influences.

@promerops I am also a Londoner.

I came to realise that many sales people who worked at Mole Jazz, Ray's Jazz, Dobell's etc, were largely very smug and self appointed "authorities". They had a Basil Fawty air to them.

Most, like the one who'd spoken to Joe Pass, were also jazz musicians.

Maybe it was jealousy? But then, Jazz guitarists are rarely taken seriously in comparison to sax players or pianists.

@taildragger53 It akes a real man to respond in this way to such rudeness and ignorance. As, originally, a Londoner, I feel quite ashamed. Regarding the video, what can one say to such brilliant and beautiful playing?

@stevetadworkz Joe Pass was a real gentleman. So humble and soft spoken.

I was with my father when i met J.P. purely by accident in a London jazz record shop in 1977, whilst he was playing gigs at Ronnie Scotts Club. He was looking for copies of his early LP's (e.g. Stones Jazz)

The proprietor of the shop didn't like guitar players and gave Joe a very hard time., very sarcastic.

I couldn't believe what i was hearing. Joe just politely left the shop and we followed him.

@stevetadworkz Geez, almost forgot Sonny Rollins at the Poway Center, also around San Diego!

[stevetadworkz]

@interman2 Saw Joe Henderson there another time, and Benny Green still another. Also saw Steve Lacy and Irene Aebi perform at a tiny avant garde art museum in San Diego. Didn't have the opportunity to chat them up like I did Pass, but good times, nevertheless.
