5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars because its Joe, but read on please....., June 24, 2006

By	Tom Z (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews

It is really about time this was released on DVD. The quality etc is just as expected from my old VHS and the old audio CD. It is always great seeing Joe Pass play, he was the best.

Bad news. For some reason you can get this same DVD at amazon.uk and it has Live in Montreaux 1977 as well. I bought it several months ago. You would need an all region player, but at least you get those amazing solo blues Joe did on that date. Most cats don't know that many of the >$25 DVD players (polaroid at Circuit City) are all region. Being Chinese made, they just want to make sure their product works and sells, they are region free!

Who knows, maybe they will release the 77 date with extras, but I doubt it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joe Pass at Montreux, April 26, 2008

By	setlow (New York) - See all my reviews

If you are a fan of Joe Pass, or of jazz guitar in general, this is a must have DVD. Aside from a couple of minor audio glitches this just a superb performance. Guitarists will appreciate the amount of time focused on Joe's hands on the fingerboard. You can watch him do his thing and pick off goodies for a long time from this video. A lot of music at the highest level for cheap money. Buy it and enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solo jazz guitar at its best!, April 18, 2009

I've loved this music since it was first released on Pablo. Watching Joe play it is a treat I never thought I'd have. A must-have for jazz guitar fans.
