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.

For Django, recorded for Pacific Jazz in 1964, has long been considered a classic by jazz guitarist Joe Pass. He pays tribute to Django Reinhardt without attempting to emulate him in any way. Rather, he honors him by using his own style with fellow guitarist John Pisano as well as bassist Jim Hughart and drummer Colin Bailey. Highlights include “Rosetta,” “Nuages,” and “Fleur D’ Ennui.” Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180- gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
