It is really interesting to listen to this and to Wes Montgomery's version back to back. So different!

Il genio dell' armonia jazz sulla chitarra.

Joe Pass is Joe Pass. Nobody is better

so.... let's not be disrespectful to such a great master. without Django you wouldn't have Joe. as far as i'm concerned, i'm grateful for both! i learned and i keep learning from them. Enjoy the music!

For those who compare Pass with Reinhardt: before Django the term "solo guitar" didn't exist. Django is the only mucisian i know that created... a tradition! he made a genre of his own! played the way he did,with a certain type of guitars,using his fingerings and voicings. Django is the father of diminished chords... Django didn't have a clue about music theory. Django had only two fingers working... and Pass had an album named "FOR DJANGO" and by the way, Joe Pass is my favorite jazz guitarist.

The combination of technique and passion is hard to describe.

@diverdance I first was lent the LP "Virtuoso" in 1973 or early '74 and actually thought that it was 2 guitarists at various points. It certainly was a groundbreaking LP, although there were players like George Van Epps who had been using the style long before Joe.
Then i got to meet Joe Pass in 1977, by accident, whilst he was playing Ronnie Scott's Club.
Saw him three times in one week. What a real, humble, gentleman.
Django was great but Joe was a far nicer person.

@vmarcks Wow he's really good. Such a great sense of melody. Thanks for introducing him!
I've been listening to this for almost 40 years!? And in that amount of time - no one else has come close. What does that tell you??

@diverdance wow, 40 years? I may be comparatively new to the genre, but I can tell you right now that I will be doing the same as you. The best music is timeless, and this interpretation sure is.
