1	Virtuoso (1973) more music like this by Joe Pass This is the album that made Joe Pass famous. On what was actually his second set of unaccompanied guitar solos (Virtuoso No. 4 from a month earlier was released years later), Pass shows that it is possible to play unaccompanied versions of such up-tempo tunes as "How High the Moon," "Cherokee," and "The Song Is You" on guitar. Pass not only ... see all copies from £10.25! new only from £10.98!
2	The Trio [1973] (1973) more music like this by Oscar Peterson With Joe Pass and Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen Guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen both play well on these live performances, but the reason to acquire this set is for the remarkable Oscar Peterson. The pianist brilliantly investigates several jazz styles on "Blues Etude" (including stride and boogie-woogie), plays exciting versions of his "Chicago Blues" and "Easy ... see all copies from £5.71! new only from £6.91!
3	Portraits of Duke Ellington (1974) more music like this by Joe Pass Recorded just a month after Duke Ellington's death, this tribute album (reissued on CD) features guitarist Joe Pass (just beginning to become famous), bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Bobby Durham jamming on eight Ellington tunes and "Caravan" (which was penned by one of Duke's key sidemen, Juan Tizol). The interplay between the three musicians is ... see all copies from £7.39! new only from £8.14!
4	Blues Dues (Live At Long Beach City College) (1998) more music like this by Joe Pass This CD has yet another set of unaccompanied guitar solos by Joe Pass; however, fans of the great guitarist realize that he was among the most consistent of jazz performers, and virtually all of his Pablo recordings are quite worthwhile. For this live date, Pass explores seven standards and a couple of original blues, but manages to find fresh ... see all copies from £6.81! new only from £8.44!
5	My Song (1993) more music like this by Joe Pass During his last years guitarist Joe Pass often used the same unit on a regular basis, one that he had utilized to record his classic For Django, back in 1963. For this pleasing effort John Pisano offers some suitable rhythm guitar while bassist Jim Hughart and drummer Colin Bailey are typically tasteful in support. Tom Ranier is an important ... see all copies from £3.89! new only from £8.24!
6	The Paris Concert (1978) more music like this by Oscar Peterson with Joe Pass and N.H.O. Pedersen 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 £10.25! new only from £13.37!
7	Blues for Fred (1988) more music like this by Joe Pass Joe Pass recorded at least a dozen sets of unaccompanied guitar for the Pablo label, and although one can have a very viable jazz collection without owning all of them, none of them are throwaways. This fairly late effort finds Pass paying tribute to the magic of Fred Astaire on his "Blues for Fred" (which is played in a medley with "They All ... see all copies from £7.52! new only from £10.78!
8	Sophisticated Lady (2001) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass made a number of studio recordings as a duo between 1973 and 1986 for Pablo, but this is their first concert CD to appear on the label. Composed of excerpts from a 1975 date in Hamburg and a 1983 appearance in Tokyo, it provides an interesting contrast as Fitzgerald's abilities declined during the eight-year gap due to ... see all copies from £7.99! new only from £7.99!
9	Chops (1978) more music like this by Joe Pass/Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen The word "chops" is a major understatement when describing the talents of guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. Their duo Pablo date (which has been reissued as a CD in the OJC series) is as exciting and full of inventive interplay as one would hope. Pass and Pedersen play an ad-lib blues, nine jazz standards including a ... see all copies from £6.66! new only from £6.66!
10	Quadrant (1977) more music like this by Joe Pass/Milt Jackson/Ray Brown/Mickey Roker Although guitarist Joe Pass was usually heard in unaccompanied settings during his Pablo years, there were occasional departures. In this case, Pass is teamed in a pianoless quartet with vibraphonist Milt Jackson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Mickey Roker. Considering the musicians involved, it's no surprise that the music always swings. The ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!

12 view cover	Fitzgerald and Pass...Again (1976) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald with Joe Pass 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 £7.69! new only from £7.69!
13 view cover	Unforgettable (1998) more music like this by Joe Pass 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 £7.82! new only from £7.82!
14 view cover	The Big 3 (1975) more music like this by Milt Jackson With Joe Pass and Ray Brown 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 £7.82! new only from £7.82!
15 view cover	Virtuoso No. 2 (1976) more music like this by Joe Pass 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 £5.84! new only from £7.22!
16 view cover	All Too Soon: The Duke Ellington Album (1980) more music like this by Milt Jackson/Ray Brown/Mickey Roker/Joe Pass The quartet that went by the name "Quadrant" (guitarist Joe Pass, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Mickey Roker) recorded two albums for Pablo; this one has not been reissued on CD yet. For this project, the group plays nine Duke Ellington compositions, Billy Strayhorn's "Take the 'A' Train," and Juan Tizol's "Caravan." The ... see all copies from £6.53! new only from £8.50!
17 view cover	Six String Santa (1992) more music like this by Joe Pass 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 £21.14!
18 view cover	Northsea Nights (1979) more music like this by Joe Pass with Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen 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 £9.70! new only from £9.70!
19 view cover	Virtuoso No. 4 (1973) more music like this by Joe Pass 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 £13.52! new only from £13.52!
20 view cover	The Jazz Giants Play Harold Arlen: Blues in the Night (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Harold Arlen's songs have such a natural, unforced feeling for jazz and the blues that jazz musicians have long found plenty of room to explore them and take off from there. With marching orders in hand, Fantasy has raided its Riverside, Prestige, Pablo, Contemporary, Galaxy and Milestone archives for a most impressive collection of big names ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!
21 view cover	Checkmate (1981) more music like this by Joe Pass with Jimmy Rowles 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 £7.11! new only from £8.24!
22 view cover	Take Love Easy (1973) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald with Joe Pass Ella Fitzgerald and guitarist Joe Pass teamed up in a set of duets for this album which has been reissued on CD. Because the emphasis is on ballads and not all of the songs are that well suited to Fitzgerald's musical personality (particularly "Lush Life" and "I Want to Talk About You"), this set is only a mixed success. Much more successful are ... see all copies from £7.67! new only from £7.67!
23 view cover	Jazz Showcase (1994) more music like this by Various Artists 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 £3.15! new only from £5.79!
24 view cover	Jazz 101: Introduction to Jazz Guitar (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A nice, affordable collection taken from the vaults of Concord Jazz.
