Members otis_rush_fan Posted April 29, 2006 Members Share Posted April 29, 2006 Sorry, I don't usually do this, but for the first time in my life I heard Joe Pass play a blues (unaccompnaied, of course): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdZqjQqFzkU&search=joe%20pass Wow. Just wow. I'd sell my soul to be that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gentle Thunder Posted April 29, 2006 Members Share Posted April 29, 2006 I saw him over here a few years ago..........he was awesome! He stopped in the middle of one improvisation and just said to the audience....." I'm sorry..........i just got lost!"........ Talent like his is not learnt....it is a gift.......we can try to emulate it but perhaps only a few will match it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jkater Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 Joe Pass is one of my favorite jazz guitarists. He learned soloing by emulating Charlie Parker (so he told us in an interview). He sure knows his way around a fretboard even if he gets lost once in a blue moon. Edit: Charlie Parker and not Byrd as I first absent mindedly wrote. Charlie Byrd was the one (along with Getz) who helped US audiences get a good taste of brasilian Jazz music.

Members go cat go Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 OH MY!! That's the best vid I've seen in a while. Simply incredible playing. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I just had to do search on Amazon and i think I found my next music DVD: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001NBLPO/ref=pd_bxgy_img_b/002-3304636-2389601?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 Clapton is GOD...but only in England. It's a tiny place and he was jamming some serious blues befor it took off over there way back when. Joe Pass is on a diff' wavelegnth than most guit' players. You ever check out his "discography"? It's freakin' mile long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised nobody corrected me on that one. I meant to say Charlie Parker (alias "Bird", hence my little mixing up of the name, sorry). Now, Parker being one of the best improviser of all time, no wonder Pass became rather proeficient himself as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 Joe Pass is way up here.. Eric Clapton and anyone/everyone else is down here.. I personally don't have the vocabulary to describe just how great Joe Pass was, and will always be. So I'll let this little smiley say it for me......

Members 10-46 Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 Clapton God??? I never thought Clapton was even that good. I like Cream, though to me the best thing about Cream was Jack Bruce's vocals. Anything after Cream is pretty much Nohand as oppossed to Slowhand. Joe Pass is a giant among giants. I saw him play in a trio and will never forget his lead lines over chord voices I can't even pronounce. Simply one of the greatest guitarists to have ever walked on this planet.

Members Cosmic_Monkey Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think Cream was pretty cool, definitely not virtuosos, but I'm not looking for one those debates. Am I remembering correctly in thinking I read Joe Pass couldn't read music? BTW, I agree he kicks ass!!! (but who could disagree) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
