Description
|
|
|
|
This 1973 solo album was the one that made Joe Pass's reputation, leaving many another guitar player agog (or in the dust). Tunes include "Night and Day," "Stella by Starlight," "My Old Flame," "'Round Midnight," "Sweet Lorraine," "All the Things You Are," "How High the Moon?" "Cherokee," "The Song Is You," and more. "His incredible ability to seamlessly weave together walking bass lines, melodies, and chords was a revelation when the first Virtuoso record was released, and remains the standard by which solo jazz guitarists are judged today."—Guitar Player "He refurbishes ballads, swing tunes and Brazilian songs with extraordinary finesse and ingenuity. He colors and animates them, seemingly effortlessly, with subtle chord substitutions, leading tones, chromatic progressions, independent bass lines, percussive effects and enough prestidigitation to create the illusion that he's really up there playing with two other musicians."—Washington Post
