at this point Joe Pass had reached the pinnacle of his perfection. The tunes are so well executed and the musicality of the arrangements and impro is outstanding. Fortunatelly this concert was recorded. 18 months after the concert he passed away :( RIP my guitar idol.
POUR MOI, LE PLUS MÉLODIQUE ET LE PLUS BEAU TOUCHÉ DES CORDES, DE TOUT LE TEMPS... !!! UN GRAND MERCI POUR LA VIDEO, DIRECTEMENT DE SALVADOR/BRÉSIL. LA MER... LE SOLEIL... LA JOIE DE VIVRE ...!!!💗💗💕💕💌💌💌
I love Joe Pass. Met him once. He was playing a gig and the Imperial room of the Royal York Hotel. There were about 5 people attending that night, including the bar tender. Joe was cool, laid back, sublimely virtuosic in the performance, his thumb is like a separate entity, or so it seemed to me at the time. That was YEARS ago. He signed a cocktail coaster for me. I think i bought him a drink; if so probably a rare one called a ‘snowshoe’ something tells me. I guess i was 17 or 18 at the time. Having said that and with the massive progression of musical tastes and styles since then, he was getting pretty vintage even then, i can see why they kids raised on psy-trance and techno-house, electro-pop, hip hop, trip hop, dub, EDM especially would consider this to be grandpa music. That’s ok, i love gramps anyway, he’s an amazing musician and i like almost all musical genres anyway. There is always someone great who comes along to define the genre and for jazz guitar Joe was once of them, among the greats of the era, as important as Segovia was to classical guitar, Jeff Beck to blues/rock fusion, Van Halen to rock, not as weird as Frank Zappa, another unique and talented and creative guitarist, he was from another planet entirely, very much his own rather twisted and sometimes hilarious sometimes downright twisted and sardonic world. Scofield gets a nod for his work with Billy Cobham, Django, Christian, i have to stop because there are really a lot of great ones over the years, amazing guitarists and still some are emerging. That guy who played the lead on What about the Working Class by LKJ, he’s a star in my book, it’s like the perfect lead. I have to mention Robert Fripp, Ali Farka Toure, Ry Cooder, and Marc Ribot, they are all great and unique guitarists. Joe was playing so smooth in this performance, smooth and sweet and soulful, cleanest i’ve heard him play, though that live solo gig i saw was similar in some respects, perhaps a bit more off the cuff feeling. Anyway…40 years later and i’m still pickin’ most days. Joe Pass was once of my earlier inspirations for sure when i started exploring jazz and blues in my teens, having come out of a house full of mainly classical music. I’m so glad i learned that universal language as a lad; it’s made me so many friends and a bit of money over the years, some deep and meaningful connections.
This kind of virtuosity is rare! I don't think we'd see somebody like Joe Pass anytime now or in the future. He's the ultimate reference of Jazz guitar mastery. God bless his soul.
I'm not afraid to say it,,, Joe Pass WAS the very best jazz guitarist of all time! This video shows us how smooth, and seamless he plays all 3 guitar parts, bass, chords, and a killer solo voicing and IMPROVISING a good deal of his solo lead lines!!!! I'm very proud to be Italian!!! Thanks Big Joe!!!
It's hard to say the 'best'. There are some marvelous jazz guitarists out there. George Benson and Pat Metheny are as good as Joe Pass. Other exceptional guitar players are Bireli Lagrene from France and Yamandu Costa from Brazil. You won't regret if you search for their work!
I've listened to George Benson for 35 years, Birelli for 25 years, Pat Metheny for37 years! NONE of them can play as seamless a 3 guitar part style like Joe! Fact! George has said many times, that Joe was a great influence on him! Pat Metheney as well! Remember, Joe Pass could also play flawlessly in 4 different guitar styles! Bebop, jazz, swing, and blues! Always maintaining the 3 part guitar style!!!! Joe is/was the absolute best ALL-AROUND guitarist,,, and for very good reason!
I respect your opinion, and I think you're not wrong, for sure you are not! However, on my understanding, there is no 'best' in music. These guitar players I mentioned are very skilled, and I wouldn't try to rank them. Other pretty good guitarists are Paco de Lucia from Spain, Al di Meola, Baden Powell from Brazil...
Don’t be ridiculous, first of all Metheny is just a fusion player; Benson and Langrene are great guitarists but Pass is far superior as improviser; Yamandu is not an improviser, he just has technique, he cannot be compared to a jazzman. Lucia, di Meola, Baden Powell? Please… Learn what real jazz is and then come back to discuss. “There is no best in music” Amateurs…
What I love about Joe is that his music is all very straight ahead and accessible. There’s nothing a decent jazz guitar player couldn’t work out and play in terms of his chord progressions and melodies. It’s just really musical and tasteful and beautifully executed.
One of my most favourite duets. Joe Pass is a philоsopher of jazz guitar, I think. And Niels' playing is a wonderful combination of amazing virtuosity, swing and drive. Thanks, Maestros! 🙏🎼
Amazing talent... such beautiful full tone. One of the best jazz guitarists of ALL time without question!! I can listen to this for hours. A TREASURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m 51 & just learning about this amazing individual. Lost time but so thankful. Really wonderful music. Thank you for this upload. Cheers everyone from Miami Beach
He used to say that he never tuned his guitar because when he bought it the guys at the shop told him it was already in tune :) Wonderful sense of humour from one of the greatest players of all time. RIP Joe, you're missed.
YOU GOT TO BE TALENTED TO SIT DOWN, ONE CHAIR AND ONE GUITAR. before a crowd, that claps before you play. JOE PASS MUST HAVE HAD A 6 LOBED BRAIN. HE IS NOW GONE, BUT ALWAYS GREAT.
The word genius is waved around a lot these days, but this man, really was a genius. "Jazz lines" is a great insight to his thought process well worth checking out
Pass plucks his guitar into language I can understand....every time! There is no other guitarist that has a relationship with the guitar. Joe Pass. Nothing else to say!
I love Joe Pass too, he is/was such a talent. Hendrix also had an unusual talent for using his guitar as an extension of himself. We are blessed to have had such great musicians across multiple genre’s during our lifetimes…David Gilmour is no slouch either!

Yes, he certainly gave a lot...thank you Joe Pass... you belong to the masters : Django, Wes, Tal Farlow, Jimmy Raney, George Benson, René Thomas...and please, never forget, Emily Remler, the lost beloved...
This Is Just Absolutely Marvellous !. Possibly The Best Sound I Have Heard From Joe. It Just Transports One To A Wonderful Place. We Will Not See Or Hear His Like Again. The Supreme Master, Fantastic.
Toast: That being said, joe pass began playing guitar at the age 10 or eleven and by the age of 14 years old, he was already touring as a pro with already established jazz musicians. The man is obviously a born virtuoso and to watch him play can only be an inspiration.
MET JOE AT A BENEFIT FOR TREATMENT FACILITY IN L.A. AREA 1970, and I said I can PLAY A LOT OF STYLES, WHAT A NICE MAN, WILL NEVER PLAY LIKE HIM OR BARNEY KESSEL , AND HE SAID MIKE YOU CAN CHORD SOLO, COME AND SIT DOWN AND PLAY. BASS-CAROL KAYE, DRUMS-PAUL HUMPHREY I WAS LIKE 20 YEARS OLD LATER I KNEW THEY WERE 1ST CALL SESSION PLAYERS, STILL LEARNING BUT ANTHONY(JOE) TOLD ME TAKE A SONG LIKE SUMMERTIME AND IMPROVISE THE CHORD SOLOS, AND KNOW THE MELODY AND LISTEN TO DJANGO SEEN HIM ALOT THAT SUMMER AND KNEW WITH READING HIS BOOK "VIRTUOSO" I WOULD LEARN TO PLAY ANYWHERE
Joe Pass. What a nice man. He told me he couldn't read music and used to be a heroin addict. What lacked in literacy was comps cared by the best ears and mind ever in jazz. RI.P. Pure Soul. neshema
I just researched Joe. I find no Classical background (not that that's important) the reason I was wondering is his fingerstyle in both hands is that of a Classical guitarist. Segovia taught himself Classical guitar (maybe Joe studied that on his own as well..) I'm a 61 year old musician that just started to take Classical guitar lessons last year (first lessons ever) and has helped me tremendously as a musician. I'm branching into Jazz too. To me Jazz and Classical and all genres go together one way or in many ways should say, though Classical and Jazz just fit perfect to me anyway. Peace. Joe is just an unbelievable, incredible true musician! Period.
GM: "Did I read somewhere that you started out on a Spanish guitar?" JP: "No, I started on a Harmony guitar, an acoustic model with steel strings. I began on simple chords like most everybody, and then I studied for a year on the Nick Lucas book. After that I got on to the Carcassi classical method for a while because the pieces in it were a lot better. They had a lot of movement in them, more chord changes and sophistication than the books of chords I'd come across. So I think that developed some sense of harmony in me." Source: Guitar Magazine June 1974
So, I'd say that while his right hand shows some classical approach, his p and i fingers are strictly alternating like a classical guitarist would. He's frequently using the p alone to play lines. Watch Charlie Byrd for a comparison. Not that it matters. JP was a genius - pure genius. What he's doing here, especially in the solo work, is just beyond category. And he never, ever, shows off. He is never leading with his virtuosity. He's leading with his musicality.
No! Think the exact opposite! If he wasn't the very best jazz guitarist,, would you be saying that? NO! So,,,, let his excellence pull you along,, just as it does me, and every other player out there!
Joe started very young and his father was a taskmaster, made his learn/play every song that came on the radio, I had the good fortune to spend a week with him at a clinic in Mesa AZ circa 1970 and got a couple of lessons, went out for pizza, nice man.
Pablo casanova: Indeed pablo, you're right, it is overwhelming to watch him play and to understand everything that he is doing which i don't....He is playing harmony, rythmitic changes and then improvising with scales all over and in between all of that. I'm just beginning to play to understand how transition with scales over chord changes. At that level, it really takes discipline and a lot of hard work to play even a fraction of what he's doing. But like you said, i must wanna sound like me and no one else.
Step 1.Learn all the different scales. Play them every time you touch the guitar. Step 2. Forget playing scales and learn different styles, and what chords go with each style. Learn to play a song in every genre, Blues, Country, Death metal, Pop, Punk, etc... Step 3. Isolate yourself from society, smoke pot, eat mushrooms, and try to freestyle to your favorite songs. Integrate the scales that you memorized when you were younger. Step 4. Keep practicing, everyday, stop taking drugs, and take professional lessons. Then, you will be able to shred like a motherfucker. The only thing that separates you from a badass, is daily practice, and a drive to be a little better than the day before.
The one and only Joe Pass! Just for the record: song # 2 is spelled DAQUILO QUE EU SEI (Believe what I Say), penned by Brazilian composers Ivan Lins & Vitor Martins.
Mr joe pass incontestablement le plus grand guitariste jazz génie absolu, bon nombre de guitaristes sont excellent, Jimmy raney, Chuck Wayne, lenny breau, ank garland album move ,george VAN eps, jhonny smith, Howard roberts, tal farlow erb ellis billy bauer, Charlie BIRD, Charlie Christian, René thomas, mais joe pass c'est un autre monde, tout comme l'était mr art tatum, Charlie parker, vive le jazz 🎺🎷🎻🥁🎸🎸🎼👍
Toast: Yes indeed man... After i made that comment 9 months ago, i was trouble shooting with some jazz scales over 251 chord progression and i surprised myself by being able to finally sound jazzier. It takes a lot of work particularly because i'm doing this on my own. My aim is to find someone who is experience in jazz guitar to be able to progress faster.
at this point Joe Pass had reached the pinnacle of his perfection. The tunes are so well executed and the musicality of the arrangements and impro is outstanding. Fortunatelly this concert was recorded. 18 months after the concert he passed away :( RIP my guitar idol.

A musician who loves and respects his instrument and it talks and sings to him, and I get to listen.
Best contemporary musician, no questions asked. I love him.
I love Joe Pass. Met him once. He was playing a gig and the Imperial room of the Royal York Hotel. There were about 5 people attending that night, including the bar tender. Joe was cool, laid back, sublimely virtuosic in the performance, his thumb is like a separate entity, or so it seemed to me at the time. That was YEARS ago. He signed a cocktail coaster for me. I think i bought him a drink; if so probably a rare one called a ‘snowshoe’ something tells me. I guess i was 17 or 18 at the time. Having said that and with the massive progression of musical tastes and styles since then, he was getting pretty vintage even then, i can see why they kids raised on psy-trance and techno-house, electro-pop, hip hop, trip hop, dub, EDM especially would consider this to be grandpa music. That’s ok, i love gramps anyway, he’s an amazing musician and i like almost all musical genres anyway. There is always someone great who comes along to define the genre and for jazz guitar Joe was once of them, among the greats of the era, as important as Segovia was to classical guitar, Jeff Beck to blues/rock fusion, Van Halen to rock, not as weird as Frank Zappa, another unique and talented and creative guitarist, he was from another planet entirely, very much his own rather twisted and sometimes hilarious sometimes downright twisted and sardonic world. Scofield gets a nod for his work with Billy Cobham, Django, Christian, i have to stop because there are really a lot of great ones over the years, amazing guitarists and still some are emerging. That guy who played the lead on What about the Working Class by LKJ, he’s a star in my book, it’s like the perfect lead. I have to mention Robert Fripp, Ali Farka Toure, Ry Cooder, and Marc Ribot, they are all great and unique guitarists. Joe was playing so smooth in this performance, smooth and sweet and soulful, cleanest i’ve heard him play, though that live solo gig i saw was similar in some respects, perhaps a bit more off the cuff feeling. Anyway…40 years later and i’m still pickin’ most days. Joe Pass was once of my earlier inspirations for sure when i started exploring jazz and blues in my teens, having come out of a house full of mainly classical music. I’m so glad i learned that universal language as a lad; it’s made me so many friends and a bit of money over the years, some deep and meaningful connections.
Joe Pass is one of the few musicians who can make me cry with the unfolding beauty of his renditions.
There is something about his playing that can make you feel emotional. Only the true great players can do that.
cry? really? I don't belive it.
Joe was an Angel and a master....thank you for teaching me Joe.....I will make a deep bow for you master...love...and respect....r.i.p.
This kind of virtuosity is rare! I don't think we'd see somebody like Joe Pass anytime now or in the future. He's the ultimate reference of Jazz guitar mastery. God bless his soul.
Martin Taylor comes darn close to Joe
For me what makes this guy amazing is the fluidity of his playing
I'm not afraid to say it,,, Joe Pass WAS the very best jazz guitarist of all time! This video shows us how smooth, and seamless he plays all 3 guitar parts, bass, chords, and a killer solo voicing and IMPROVISING a good deal of his solo lead lines!!!!

One of my most favourite duets.
Joe Pass is a philоsopher of jazz guitar, I think. And Niels' playing is a wonderful combination of amazing virtuosity, swing and drive.
Thanks, Maestros!
🙏🎼
what a blessing to be able to see this, he loved the guitar and it shows. Thanks Mr. Pass
Amazing talent... such beautiful full tone. One of the best jazz guitarists of ALL time without question!! I can listen to this for hours. A TREASURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE best jazz guitarist! Who's better? Exactly!
I will never play like Joe.. But I do"borrow" ideas from him and that allows me to play like me. Thanks Joe and God Bless your family. RIP
Doing the same right now. 👍🎸
Просто прелесть,что за исполнение❤😊😊😊
I’m 51 & just learning about this amazing individual. Lost time but so thankful. Really wonderful music. Thank you for this upload. Cheers everyone from Miami Beach
So much talent! Pass and Pedersen together were Perfect
If I could just listen to Joe tune his guitar all day, I'd be happy. His music always takes me to wonderful far away places.
He used to say that he never tuned his guitar because when he bought it the guys at the shop told him it was already in tune :)
Wonderful sense of humour from one of the greatest players of all time. RIP Joe, you're missed.
É TUDO LINDO DEMAIS...!!! SÓ PODEMOS CHORAR e RIR de IMENSA ALEGRIA...!!! VIVA JOE, QUE PASSOU COMO UM COMETA EM NOSSAS VIDAS...!!!
It's amazing and so unusual how he's able to keep his tempo tapping softly with both his foot.
Complete mastery of the instruments and consummate musicianship on display. It can't get any better.
The boss🙇♂️!
Rest in peace maestro🙏!
We love you,!
Thanks, my favorite Joe Pass show to date! What a unique genius 💘
I have been listening his music about for more than 40years !
18 months before he went to guitar paradise. What an artist.
yes thank god all these performances were recorded
YOU GOT TO BE TALENTED TO SIT DOWN, ONE CHAIR AND ONE GUITAR. before a crowd, that claps before you play. JOE PASS MUST HAVE HAD A 6 LOBED BRAIN. HE IS NOW GONE, BUT ALWAYS GREAT.

Brilliant Joe!!! What a hero he was, his music lives - truly epic proportions this man gave the world!
I have the same feeling with photography after I see an exhibition of a great master !
This man is Angel for jazz😍😍 I'm from Iran.
Pass plucks his guitar into language I can understand....every time! There is no other guitarist that has a relationship with the guitar. Joe Pass. Nothing else to say!
I love Joe Pass too, he is/was such a talent. Hendrix also had an unusual talent for using his guitar as an extension of himself. We are blessed to have had such great musicians across multiple genre’s during our lifetimes…David Gilmour is no slouch either!
I saw Joe Pass perform many times. He is the master of masters.

Perfect and solid....
Friggin amazing, what a performance

Sit back and watch the master at work
Toast: That being said, joe pass began playing guitar at the age 10 or eleven and by the age of 14 years old, he was already touring as a pro with already established jazz musicians. The man is obviously a born virtuoso and to watch him play can only be an inspiration.
He wasn't born anything, his father just cracked the whip
Wow... This Guy Was Something Else !!! ( And probably still Is )
que groso Master¡¡¡
Paying in a band is easy compared to sitting up there all by yourself just you and your guitar. That takes GUTS.
Me encanta Joe Pass! ¡
More than masterful

He can not read notes....improvisasions and experiences
Outstanding! 1 dislike? How?
+Ferenc Ulbert I can only assume the dislike represents that particular viewer's displeasure with the fact that Joe is no longer with us.
True maestro.
Great solo koncert,R.I.p. Joe!
I don't know if i should feel inspired or to quit trying to learn jazz guitar.......
Been there man...
But you don't have to be as good as him, just as good as you can be
No! Think the exact opposite! If he wasn't the very best jazz guitarist,, would you be saying that? NO! So,,,, let his excellence pull you along,, just as it does me, and every other player out there!
i feel the same, mike! LOL
Joe started very young and his father was a taskmaster, made his learn/play every song that came on the radio, I had the good fortune to spend a week with him at a clinic in Mesa AZ circa 1970 and got a couple of lessons, went out for pizza, nice man.
As awesome as Joe is, he can't play like you either.
Wonderful rendition of Some Time Ago....
The great dane and joe...well done...bravo
great upload. BRAVO
