1	The Best of Joe Pass: Pacific Jazz Years (1997) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist Although this CD sticks to Joe Pass' early period and cannot be accurately called "The Best," it does feature the guitarist in prime form. Rarest among the selections are three numbers from Pass' debut, Sounds of Synanon. In addition, the guitarist is heard on four selections from his classic For Django date; he performs "More" from a movie theme ... see all copies from $6.35! new only from $9.91!
2	Checkmate (1981) more music like this by Joe Pass with Jimmy Rowles add to wishlist For this LP, guitarist Joe Pass (who recorded many dates for Pablo during the era) had an opportunity to play a quiet set of duets with pianist Jimmy Rowles. The two musicians had not played together since the 1960s, so their collaborations during the one day of recording were quite spontaneous and fresh. Rowles sets the quiet mood, and Pass keeps ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.14!
3	Unforgettable (1998) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist Here is a second brace of solo Pass tracks from the sessions that have already yielded Songs for Ellen. The ambience is ruminative and extremely intimate; the menu consists entirely of much-explored standards at mostly unrelieved slow tempos. Several notes are not cleanly struck, but the musical imagination that previously yielded several solo ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
4	For Django (1964) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist Long considered a classic, guitarist Joe Pass' fourth date as a leader finds him performing music that was composed by Django Reinhardt, was part of his repertoire, or is one of two more recent tributes (John Lewis' "Django" and Pass' "For Django"). Pass is joined by the rhythm guitar of John Pisano, bassist Jim Hughart, and drummer Colin Bailey; ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $13.44!
5	Fitzgerald and Pass...Again (1976) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald with Joe Pass add to wishlist The second of three duet albums by Ella Fitzgerald and guitarist Joe Pass (which has been reissued on CD) finds the duo uplifting 14 superior standards with subtle improvising and gentle swing. Highpoints include the wordless "Rain," "I Ain't Got Nothin' but the Blues," "That Old Feeling," "You Took Advantage of Me" and "The One I Love"; even ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
6	Appassionato (1990) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist Guitarist Joe Pass reunited with the same musicians he had used on his classic 1963 album For Django for this relaxed exploration of a dozen jazz standards: rhythm guitarist John Pisano, bassist Jim Hughart and drummer Colin Bailey. Alternating romps with ballads, Pass is in typically fine form throughout with "Relaxin' at Camarillo," "Red Door" ... see all copies from $9.45! new only from $9.45!
7	Six String Santa (1992) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist This is one of guitarist Joe Pass's more obscure late-period records. Pass and his regular working quartet of the early '90s (rhythm guitarist John Pisano, bassist Jim Hughart and drummer Colin Bailey) perform a variety of famous Christmas-related songs, plus his own "Happy Holiday Blues." The tasteful renditions swing and include quartet pieces, ... see all copies from $9.75!
8	Northsea Nights (1979) more music like this by Joe Pass with Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen add to wishlist Guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels Pedersen, a pair of talented virtuosi, are typically outstanding on this live set of standards. With the exception of their ad-lib "Blues for the Hague," all of the material would qualify as overdone through the years (such as "'Round Midnight" and "Stella by Starlight") but the duo makes these veteran pieces ... see all copies from $9.12! new only from $9.12!
9	Virtuoso No. 2 (1976) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist Virtuoso No. 2, the second of Joe Pass' solo guitar albums for Pablo, finds the remarkable Pass exploring more recent standards than one might expect. In addition to a few warhorses, there is also "Feelings" (which he somehow manages to make tolerable), "If," two Chick Corea songs ("Five Hundred Miles High" and "Windows") and even "Giant Steps." ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $9.14!
10	Virtuoso in New York (2004) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist The saying that "life begins at 40" is certainly open to debate -- especially if you live in a youth-obsessed culture like the United States. But for jazz artists, there can be some truth in that saying; the history of jazz is full of artists who did some of their best work after 40. Joe Pass is a perfect example; Pass turned 40 in 1969, and the ... see all copies from $9.23! new only from $9.23!
11	Blues for Two (1983) more music like this by Zoot Sims with Joe Pass add to wishlist Although guitarist Joe Pass recorded many unaccompanied solo albums, he made relatively few dates as part of a duo. This CD reissue of a session with tenor-saxophonist Joe Pass works quite well because Zoot Sims was a natural swinger who did not need a full rhythm section to push him. His playing on the selections (mainly standards including ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $12.54!
12	Jazz/Concord (1973) more music like this by Herb Ellis/Joe Pass/Ray Brown/Jake Hanna add to wishlist The very first release by the Concord label (recorded at the 1973 Concord Jazz Festival and now available on CD) was a quartet set featuring guitarists Herb Ellis and Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Jake Hanna. Ellis and Pass (the latter was just beginning to be discovered) always made for a perfectly complementary team, constantly ... see all copies from $8.90!
13	The Giants (1974) more music like this by Oscar Peterson with Joe Pass and Ray Brown add to wishlist The title of this LP certainly fits the players. Pianist Oscar Peterson (who switches to organ on two of the eight selections), guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Ray Brown would each be on literally dozens of recordings for Norman Granz's Pablo label; all are worth acquiring by fans of straightahead jazz. This particular set has three Peterson ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $11.98!
14	Taste of Jazz: Fresh, Sharp & Sweet (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.95!
15	Easy Living (1986) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass add to wishlist For her third duo recording with guitarist Joe Pass, Ella Fitzgerald swings 15 mostly familiar standards that range from "My Ship" and "Don't Be That Way" to "Why Don't You Do Right?" and "On a Slow Boat to China." At 66, her voice was visibly fading, although her charm and sense of swing were still very much present. But this CD is not one of her ... see all copies from $9.06! new only from $9.06!
16	Jazz Showcase (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Count Basie, Dave Brubeck, Slide Hampton, Oscar Peterson and George Shearing make appearances on this Telarc collection. ~ Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
17	The Big 3 (1975) more music like this by Milt Jackson With Joe Pass and Ray Brown add to wishlist This CD (a straight reissue of the original LP) features a rather notable pianoless combo: vibraphonist Milt Jackson, guitarist Joe Pass, and bassist Ray Brown. These three masterful players recorded together in many settings during the Pablo years, but only this once as a trio. The colorful repertoire (which ranges from "The Pink Panther" and ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
18	Virtuoso No. 4 (1973) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist Joe Pass became famous with his unaccompanied guitar showcase on Virtuoso, the beginning of a very notable series. However, this double CD (a reissue of a 1983 double LP plus three new performances) actually preceded the first Virtuoso by a month and differed in that Pass exclusively chose to play acoustic guitar, rather than electric. The ... see all copies from $17.42! new only from $17.42!
19	Live in the Netherlands (1980) more music like this by Jean 'Toots' Thielemans with Joe Pass add to wishlist This rather memorable Pablo recording, his only album as a leader for Norman Granz's label (although he made several notable appearances as a sideman), features the great jazz harmonica player Toots Thielemans in a sparse trio with guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels Pedersen. The four main numbers ("Blues in the Closet," "Thriving on a Riff," ... see all copies from $9.04! new only from $9.04!
20	What Is There to Say: Joe Pass Solo Guitar (2001) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist Joe Pass was pretty much the undisputed king of jazz guitar during the last two decades of his life, and the appearance of yet one more set of previously unreleased material is cause for celebration. These unaccompanied performances come from a two-day engagement in 1990 at the Vine Street Bar & Grill in Hollywood, with the guitarist in fine form ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
21	The Best of Joe Pass [Pablo] (1983) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist The title is a misnomer, but there are good 70s and early-80s cuts from his Pablo sessions. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
22	Meditation: Solo Guitar (2002) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist Joe Pass achieved extraordinary balance in his career. Because he remained grounded in bop and swing, his guitar work was more conservative than many fusion and post-bop players, but his solo guitar work also ventured into unexplored territory, combining the single-note dexterity of Charlie Christian with the block chords of Carl Kress. Meditation ... see all copies from $10.91! new only from $10.91!
23	Eximious (1982) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist Joe Pass took time off from his solo guitar projects to record this excellent trio set with bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and drummer Martin Drew. Pass swings hard throughout, is consistently inventive within the bebop tradition, and indulges in close interplay with Pedersen. Together, these musicians make the wondrous seem effortless. ... see all copies from $6.30! new only from $9.14!
24	The Paris Concert (1978) more music like this by Oscar Peterson with Joe Pass and N.H.O. Pedersen add to wishlist Pianist Oscar Peterson made so many recordings for Norman Granz's Pablo label (and was so consistent) that while all of his records are recommended, it is difficult to pick out any one as the definitive or essential release. This two-CD set (a straight reissue of the original two-LP release) features Peterson with an all-star trio, a unit ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $15.47!
25	Songs for Ellen (1992) more music like this by Joe Pass add to wishlist This posthumous CD is novel because it features Joe Pass exclusively on acoustic guitar, and it is obvious that he enjoyed every minute of these sessions. "The Shadow of Your Smile" is no longer easy listening fodder, as Pass turns it into a miniature master class in swing. "Star Eyes" is accented by the soft squeaks of Pass' fingers gently ... see all copies from $11.81! new only from $11.81!
