1975: Norman Granz’ Jazz In Montreux: Presents Joe Pass ‘75 |

 Artist: Joe Pass Album: Norman Granz’ Jazz In Montreux: Presents Joe Pass ‘75 Label: Eagle Eye Media Year: 1975 Release: 2006 Time: 79 minutes Format: Online-video With guitar in hand and nowhere to hide, the late great Joe Pass simply dazzled the Montreux audiences during these exclusive performances culled from the 1975 concerts. Famed jazz critic Nat Hentoff launches the proceedings with a prologue, citing quotes from other luminaries who provide testimonials to the guitarist’s historical prominence. Possessing remarkable technique and depth, Pass extended concepts put forth by many of the preceding jazz guitar greats. Armed with a hollow-body electric the artist displays his all-encompassing musical persona by effortlessly whirling through jazz standards, regardless of tempo and nuance.
Here, the cameramen often zoom in on Pass’ fret board amid his wincing facial gestures. Despite some annoying glitches with the concert PA system, the artist relays his complex chord voicings interspersed with swinging, single note based improvisation and much more! Suited with a sport jacket and tie, Pass looms as a dignified artiste who rendered an amalgamation of softly executed; finger-style picking maneuvers. In addition, he fuses walking chord progressions and bluesy riffs into lyrically charged spins on ”Montreux Changes,” and ”Blues For Nina.” And with his luminous employment of dynamics and tonal shadings, the guitarist also blazes through toe-tapping bop/swing vibes with intricately designed phrasings, all tinged with a melodic edge. In sum, students and pros alike would be well-served to check out this newly issued gem by the guitarist who had few peers in the biz. ~ Glenn Astarita, www.ejazznews.com |

Philly Joe Jones - Showcase (1959) |

|
 Artist: Philly Joe Jones Album: Showcase Recording Date: November, December 1959 Label: Riverside/OJC Time: 38:02 Size: 92mb (RS.com) with covers AMG rating  This is a particularly interesting hard bop-oriented set led by drummer Philly Joe Jones. Most unusual is "Gwen," a Jones ballad that has the leader on both piano and (via overdubbing) drums in a trio with bassist Jimmy Garrison. Otherwise, trumpeter Blue Mitchell, trombonist Julian Priester, tenor saxophonist Bill Barron, either Dolo Coker or Sonny Clark on piano, Garrison, and Jones form a sextet that performs modern tunes by Barron, Priester, and Jones, in addition to "I'll Never Be the Same" and Philly Joe's feature on "Gone" (based on the Miles Davis/Gil Evans interpretation of "Porgy and Bess"). A well-conceived, diverse, and recommended CD reissue. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
