I love joe pass his playing is sublime to say he’s good on the guitar is a vast understatement he’s a genius player his tone the chords he plays the way he improvizes on the spot just total mastery in his playing & approach he’s my favorite jazz guitarist second only to Wes montgomery
Donn La Rossa I’m reminded of his Hot Licks tape “Solo Jazz Guitar” where he’s giving us a note to tune to...the note sounds sour, Joe pulls a face and remarks “They said it was in tune when I bought it!” And if you listen you can hear director Arlen Roth crack up, off-camera 😂
My generation rates Hendrix, Clapton, and Page high on the list. It's a shame we didn't know much about Joe Pass. As Chet Atkins would say , " That's a certified guitar player."
any jazz player who can help me? Just a question about SUMMERTIME (don't worry if you don't have time to read and answer). I notice that the original standard has many chords and they change so quickly that it is impossible to play the arpeggios (if you wish to improvise with arpeggios). However, I have a Mimi Fox book about jazz standards and arpeggios that simplifies the chords and the standard becomes: Gmi 7, _, _, __, __, Cmi7 _, _, D7 _, _, Gmi 7, _, _, __, __, BbMAJ7 Gmi7, Ami7(b5) D7, Gmi7, D7. Yes, simplified, much easier to improvise on with arpeggios. What I do not understand is: why did she rewrite the standard changing all the chords? I mean, usually when I study a standard I don't change the chords. Forget the fact that this version is in Gmi7, that's not the point, the point is - why does the original track have 300 chords and this one has got just a few? When you improvise on this track do you simplify it to be able to play melodic arpeggios or you use scales thinking of the 'key centre? (usually I only use blues pentatonic and harmonic minor).
danlovesnan just try to think in chord families: minor, major, dominant if you understand which chords can be played familywise you will have it much easier during comping and impro
If you're talking about the key, Joe pass plays it in many keys. Often there is a key change within one song. Bbmin, Amin, Gmin just a few examples. As for why these can have 300 chords, it's chords within one family for the most part, along with substitutions such as tritone. Imagine any major scale - you have 7 diatonic chords within this scale. So you can move around freely using these chords. For starting out with soloing, it's best to simplify the standard so you can play a particular scale for as long as possible. On the other hand, playing along with chords using chord tones (and modes) and adding substitutions is advanced so that comes later
I don't know which I'm more impressed by, his guitar playing or the fact that he managed to get so many women to show up at a jazz concert!
Lol😂

+Jay Rowe It has been said that people don't like music much, and prefer to be entertained.
+Jay Rowe I'm also fairly certain UA-cam is only counting my number of views on this video...
I'm entertained by this.
Summertime with It Ain't Nececcarily So in between :) Joe was a Virtuoso
Geez I just can't seem to get them same voicings out of my Joe Pass Ibanez? he he ha ha lol

I believe that Chet only bestowed “certified guitarist” on two cohorts: Pass and Emmanuel.
If I get an Ibanez arch-top will I sound like that? :)
Dude, I don't recommend the JP20, which is the Joe Pass model. Joe Pass didn't even like it.
Ibanez are great quality guitars, no doubt

And yes you should learn the major scale, it will help you understand diatonic harmony
In key of Dmin, Summertime goes basically: Dmin, Gmin A7, F, I think and not much more. All the chords others add are for color. Joe adds a ton!
It Ain't Necessarily So
Where was this recorded?
Vienna, Austria.
I don't like it that much, so much skill but the melody is lost in the middle of all that, imho

I like this version much more
The audience is so lifeless
