Essential Jazz Classics is a Spanish label that specializes in reissuing classic jazz albums. With a focus on preserving and reintroducing timeless jazz recordings, this label has become an authority in the industry. Their extensive catalog includes albums from legendary artists such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Billie Holiday. As a label operating within the public domain in Europe, Essential Jazz Classics ensures accessibility to these iconic recordings. While there is no specification about the sources used for their masters, rest assured that each release is carefully curated to provide an exceptional listening experience.

American jazz guitarist of Sicilian descent, Joe Pass was born on January 13, 1929 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He began his musical journey at the age of 14 and went on to become one of the greatest jazz guitarists. Overcoming a long battle with drug addiction, Pass established himself as a brilliant improviser known for his fluent single note lines influenced by bop, sophisticated harmonic sense, and rhythmic drive. In the 1970s, he adopted a fingerstyle approach to playing and recorded several solo performances. Pass collaborated with legendary jazz artists including Count Basie, Benny Carter, Zoot Sims, Milt Jackson, Duke Ellington and notably Ella Fitzgerald.

Pass's contributions to jazz were recognized by Ibanez who produced a 'Joe Pass' edition in their archtop jazz guitar range. Epiphone also manufactured a 'Joe Pass' version of their 'Emperor' jazz guitar in honor of his talent and influence.

Similar artists who share Pass's passion for jazz include Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, Pat Martino, Tal Farlow, Barney Kessel and many others.

Deluxe packaging includes 12-page booklet with rare photos, memorabilia &amp; updates, as well as the original liner notes + 7 bonus tracks. This edition contains the complete original long unavailable 1962 Joe Pass LP Sounds of Synanon (Pacific Jazz PJ48). It presents an unusual instrumental combination with baritone horn and bongos in a programme of originals by Joe Pass and other members of the band. All the musicians here, including Pass himself, were at the time recuperating patients at the Synanon Drug Centre in California, hence the title of the album. As a bonus, Essential Jazz Classics have added a complete trio session recorded that same year and featuring Pass in a trio format backed by the great Richard "Groove" Holmes on organ, and Lawrence Marable on drums.
