Guitar Virtuoso
Joe Pass
Possessing awesome technique, formidable ensemble skills, and unparalleled abilities as a soloist-that freely wove walking bass lines, sleek chordal passages, and deft single-note phrases into rich musical tapestries-the late Joe Pass easily qualifies as the most versatile guitarist in the annals of jazz, and arguably the greatest player since Wes Montgomery. This 4-CD collection of 63 live and studio tracks, recorded under the supervision of producers Norman Granz and Eric Miller, reflects every facet of his artistry, which reached its height over the course of his nearly 19 years (1973-1992) with the Pablo label, his most productive period.
