Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Is scale playing music?This CD is basically a recording of scale playing with not much attention to melody or feeling. It was a showcase of technical talents and becomes nerve wracking quickly. If you like scales you will love this. Rating:  - most listened to cd After nearly 7 years after first discovering this cd, I simply cannot get over the brilliance of this recording. Writing a critical review of this album is something that cannot be done by me. The bottom line is that the sounds that Mr. Pass produces is astonishing. I suppose it can be said that he is a "virtuoso", which he obviously is, or that he displays superlative technical skill, which he obviously does. But something else happens with this recording, as well as many of his others that can't be described. "Virtuoso" gets better with each and every listen, doesn't matter which track is heard, beginning to end is something I wind up doing even when not intended. Cant recommend this highly enough. Rating: - Solo Guitar PinnacleHow great can solo jazz guitar be? This is the pinnacle from the master, and is the first Joe Pass solo CDs you should buy. Great imagination, control. Had they known this set would be listened to for 500 years, they could have recorded it just a bit better. Rating:  - True to the word 'virtuoso'Joe Pass's album was so liked when it came out he went on to record a bunch of sequels. So how does 52 minutes of solo guitar stand up? Joe Pass tackles a program of standards - only "Blues for Alican" is an original. The standards he plays includes some warhorses -- "Night And Day", "Stella By Starlight", "Cherokee", "Have You Met Miss Jones?", and "'Round Midnight". The solo guitar version is sufficiently different enough from, say, Sonny Rollins' "Night And Day", you certainly won't be bored with having another version. The playing itself is a marvel. Pass swings through each song, his notes and clean and perfect, and since he's playing by himself, the differences between solos and verse/choruses are constantly blurred. The main reason ... Read More: Rating: - A classic. That's all.You'll be hypnotized by Pass. Nothing but his genius on solo, hollow-body guitar, transforming jazz standards. When this came out in the 70s, it was unusual. Then, everybody started with solo records. Pass was the first, and it stands the test of time. |
