5.0 out of 5 stars Joe, swinging hard, February 13, 1999

By 

A reviewer (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Joy Spring (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful set circa Feb. 6, 1964 in Los Angeles. The setting is guitar, piano, bass, and drums and the recording quality is quite good. Joe (with plectrum), swinging hard, spinning long lines of great logic, shows us that long before he became a household name through his solo recordings on Pablo he was one of the top jazz guitarists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pass, Wofford in fantastic form!, November 30, 1999

What a great CD! I played it at a dinner party recently, and everybody commented on how wonderful the music was. Joe Pass was in fantastic form. As a pianist, I particularly enjoy Mike Wofford's playing on this album. He was actually the main reason I purchased this CD (I saw him perform recently and wanted to hear his earlier performances). If you're looking for a CD with hard-hitting jazz guitar and piano, check this one out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz Guitar at Its BEST!, April 28, 2009

People tend to remember Joe Pass as a fingerstylist given his broad recorded catalogue of solo-jazz guitar beginning with his virtuoso series. This album is just one of his few early recordings as a band leader where he is given enough opportunity to stretch out and swing hard. Absolutely fantastic bebop stylist--no boring note, indeed. By the way, that ES-175 he played with pick/plectrum in this album sounds fantastic. Jazz guitar tone to die for. Thanks Joe.
