I had the awesome pleasure of studying with him in the summer of 69 when I was 13 years old. 3 precious lessons that are incorporated into my playing to this day. He was a kind man and awesome teacher. Unfortunately, my parent's marital problems put me on a plane back to Connecticut from California after just 3 weeks. He probably wondered what happened to that kid.

I saw him twice in Vancouver in the late 80's early 90's. Both times, he came on stage with just his guitar, plug it in and played. The audience listened religiously and there wasn't a sound (and certainly no cell phones in those days) and it was just magic. At one point, he bended a note during an incredible solo, stop playing, leaned on the microphone and said «that's for the rock guys» and resume playing.

Not a single note on Joe Pass's guitar is not getting touched when he goes for a wander. Man's a genius.

I've been playing my whole life..this man is just fabulous. I usually can recognize most chords. Some of his just baffle me. Where's my mel bay book one. I must have missed a bunch.

I saw him play in North Vancouver and got to talk to him while he enjoyed a cigar, he signed my copy of Virtuoso.

[blahblah]

What a great visual of his right-hand technique! The way he uses his thumb all across the strings as well as his other fingers is so smooth. I haven't seen anyone else play quite like that. What a master of the instrument.

[letsdisagree]

Pass and Montgomery. The tops of the mountain!

[The_ScapeGoat]

I remember teaching him how to play this. He was so excited when he finally got it!

After my car crash in Massachusetts in 2005, I couldn’t listen to music for a year. My brain felt tender and full. My friend Duncan loaned me some CDs for when I was feeling up to it, and the first CD I could listen to was Porgy and Bess with Oscar Peterson and Joe Pass.

I’ve been a guitar player for over 50 years, and I still have no idea how Joe does the things he does. He’s obviously criminally underrated and overlooked in discussions of great guitarists. And by all accounts he was a sweet and funny guy. This performance here is mesmerizing.

I got to see Joe Pass and Oscar Peterson play together in Victoria, BC in the late 1970s or beginning of the 1980s. To this day, I've never seen anyone can improvise as effortlessly and without limits as Oscar and Joe. Joe would play a line out of thing air and Oscar would play it back perfectly and vice versa. On this went for 15-20 minutes, never repeating an idea and all done at breakneck spped. By the end Oscar and Joe were bursting out laughing as they couldn't believe it themselves and they never made any bad notes. I got to meet Joe during the intermission and he was a super nice person, cracking onle liners the whole time.

I sure wish I had this to look at way back when… It was Joe Pass that got me into jazz guitar and led me to Berklee College of music.
Nice and beautiful.

[marlon]

Wow man! The flow, the timing, the feel, the sweet tone....A true master Joe pass was, rest his soul...

[waynemoores]

Hittin' the sweet spot on every note.

[Typical.Anomaly]

Here because Jens Larsen said his name so many times... figured I should stop by, and I am thoroughly impressed.
✌❤🤘

[boilinabag]

i am so fortunate to have seen joe at least 50 times over the late sixties and seventies. with oscar, and other heavyweights. he was the freakin best. also see him and joe DiOrio play together, another master of the jazz guitar. my jaw still hurts from it being on the floor 50 years ago....

[anthonyalfredyorke]

Thanks for the wonderful music, absolutely phenomenal some people think the Guitar begins and ends with Eddie and the Two Jimmy's, how wrong they are !!! . PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.

[DanielSteduto]

legend. one of my top 3 jazz guitarists of all time

[reddmann]

Jazz players, 1000 chords, three fans,
Rock player's three chords, 1000 fan's...
But He knows his guitar!

[bigredracingteam]

Thank you for sharing this! There are many great jazz guitarists, but I really like Pass' self-accompaniment playing.

[feliperojo]

I've always loved Joe...a pure genius...😌🙏
