  • Joe Pass' Energetic Solo Set

    3 out of 5 stars
    puyaMD_9 March 2025United States🇺🇸

    At the Montreux festival in '77, Joe delivers a solo act. He just sits down and kicks off a set, tearing through a mix of blues tunes and a few other standards. His playing is full of energy and creativity, yet it's a bit messy and not always spot on. Fans of Joe's improvisation will have plenty to learn from this, as he showcases some fantastic licks and harmonic ideas. His tone is rough, bold, and mostly distorted. It seems like this might be a direct board feed, not a mic'd amp. If you're after solo Joe Pass, grab Virtuoso first – it's a real knockout. This album isn't quite that level. 3 stars.

    At the Montreux Festival in '77, Joe Pass delivers a solo show. He just sits down and starts jammin', tearing through a mix of blues tunes and a few other well-known songs. His playin's full of energy and creativity, but it's a bit messy and not always on point. If you're into Joe's improvisation, there's plenty to learn here, with some killer licks and harmonic ideas scattered throughout. His tone's dry, bold, and mostly distorted. Sounds like it might be a direct board feed, not a mic'd amp. If you're lookin' for solo Joe Pass, grab Virtuoso first, it'll blow your mind. This album ain't quite that level. 3 stars.
