Joe Pass is the best technical Guitarist I have ever heard,and this song is my favorite.

@stevetadworkz Jealous!! :)

Yes sir! I also love to laugh with joy (but sometimes people misunderstand the character of my laughter).
And this is a completely naked guitar performance! No special effects: reverb, overdub, etc. to hide the 'little' flaws. That was very humble of Mr. Pass. What a foundation for future musicians such as John Mclaughlin, Al Di Meola and others. Thanks, interman2.

Joe Pass was truly ahead of his time.

@djtinz7 So true. Guys like Art Tatum, Charlie Parker and particularly Sonny Rollins do that for me. I'm thankful to have seen Pass and Rollins live. Not nearly old enough (38) to have seen the other two giants.

hes the charlie parker of jazz guitar, he plays so many quick licks but not for the sake of playing fast, but because they fit with the song.
This is from the album Virtuoso not Cherokee : P
