For whatever its worth, here's my comment on YouTube regarding the video. So surprised was I, that I saw this in my home feed, that I just couldn't help myself...
Yea, I knew about Joe Pass a long time ago, myself. Learned about him in music school, and saw him live once in Manhattan. (The guitar instructor at the school actually knew him personally). In fact, I believe I still have the 'Virtuoso' album. Pass is a FREAKIN' MONSTER!!! Thanks for making this video. Long overdue. Finally someone who gets it, about what a genius this guy was. I was one of the few back in the day, who really understood and appreciated that, or who even knew about him. Joe Pass is a legend. Not sure if he's still alive or not, but he was like the Mozart of Jazz guitar players, for sure. Pat Martino was another little known jazz guitarist, who was just absolutely brilliant as well, now that we're on this subject. May want to do a video on him too, and really blow my mind...
