Joe Pass is unquestionably the best jazz guitarist in the world. In compiling a "Best Of" collection of any artist, it should be as nearly as possible representative of what tracks the producer feels best portray what the artist is all about. In this case however, Norman Granz deferred to Pass, who insisted on choosing his own material and, who knows?, perhaps that is a better way to go: let the artist put his best foot forward as opposed to the quasi-objectivity of the producer.
The music is culled from as many of Joe Pass' albums as possible, ranging from his brazilian Tudo Bem, the live sessions at Donte's and material from his Virtuoso #1, and other solo ventures. Thus, you can listen to and marvel at Joe playing with a trio, a Brazilian rhythm section, and, best of all, his incredible ability as a soloist sans any rhythm accompaniment.
Joe Pass did the near-impossible: he was able to play up-tempo versions of bop tunes unaccompanied on the guitar.
Pass used conventional but superb technique, and his Virtuoso series still sounds remarkable decades later.
Joe had a false start to his career. He played in a few swing bands before graduating from High School, and was with Charlie Barnet for a time in 1947. After serving in the military, he became a drug addict and served time in prison - essentially wasting a whole decade.
He emerged in 1962 with a record cut at Synanon, made a bit of a stir with his For Django set and recorded several other albums for Pacific Jazz. In general, however, Pass maintained a low profile until he was signed by Norman Granz. 1973's Virtuoso made him a star and he recorded very prolifically for Pablo.
Joe remained active until he died from cancer in 1994 at the age of 65.
