  • 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.

  • beautiful.

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

  • Words fail.

  • 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!
