DVD review ~sheetmusicplus.com
Few guitarists in the jazz idiom have reached the level of virtuosity that Joe Pass established and refined throughout his career. His playing in group settings was flawless, but his true genius was revealed as a solo guitarist who could simultaneously play all elements of a jazz or blues tune - melody, rhythm, chord harmonies, bass lines and rapid-fire improvised passages - all with an impeccable sense of taste and style that wowed critics and listeners around the world.
This video offers excerpts from various performances from 1962-1982 that capture the essence, brilliant technique and enormous talent of Joe Pass. In a brief interview segment, Joe discusses his guitaristic roots and his thoughts on his music. Joe Pass has inspired legions of players, yet he remains unsurpassed as the most genial jazz guitarist of our time.

"Must-have for Joe Pass fans"July 7, 2011 - By @Mikeg556

Joe Pass was one of the finest guitarsts to ever live. I got to see him perform once in a very small club shortly before he passed. There were only about 15 people in attendance. It was clear that he was not pleased with the turn out, but still put on an amazing show. This video gives us a chance to see him perform in various settings (solo, and with a band). It spans most of his career. There is even a segment where he is playing a Fender Jaguar guitar - something I had never seen him do. The recording quality is not always good, but thats understandable considering the age of the recordings. If you are a fan of Joe Pass, or just a fan of amazing jazz guitar playing, this is a must-have video. Enjoy! ── customer review ~amazon.com
