Joe Pass - The Very Thought Of You

Montreux, July 18, 1975

[@yyrm8321]

I was there !!! It stayed in my memory.

[@eirarodriguez6035]

Tämä on vain kaunista ja tauhoittavaa, ja ihailtavaa taituruutta.

[@mauriziogandolfo9676]

Leggenda ❤

[@rylieriley]

There's nothing better in this entire universe.

[@zootszabo2415]

CHORD KING AND VOICING GENIUS.

[@bondjovi4595]

Waiting for this century to pass. Then they can bring back this kind of music. Wait, the most people can live is 100 years. Darn it.

[@Hollcall]

Love when He goes into a SWING TIME.........what can you say, Joe Pass is Joe Pass. Man is a WIZARD..!

[@gerriepieters9033]

Gracieus and gentle....what a great performance of jazz improvisations of the great JOE PASS....mis you..r.i.p.

[@latinoceccanti331]

Fantastic Joe Pass

[@rickjensen2717]

Genius at work!

[@johnfenner347]

Dear Joe. How I Miss Him. Truly Original And Never Surpassed. Absolutely Marvellous !.

[@stuwest4217]

Mesmerised

[@jazztemple2]

Awesome. In so many ways

[@cnrbsmth]

Ive watched so many old tape recordings of Joe on youtube that I almost hear his tone in my head with that warbled pitch.

[@vintage3465]

Me too

[@randybock82]

Wow! And such killer tone

[@sblack48]

I’ve been working on his version from the unforgettable album. This one just takes it to 5 new levels. And it’s just something he pulled out of his head on a given day. The next week it would have been different. And I’ll slave over the simpler one for months🤦🏻

[@randybock82]

Love that lick at .o46! Sound like Herb.

[@gerardoguerrero3360]

HAHA, THE FACE. I WILL LOVE YOUR STYLE.. SEE YOU LATER SIR..

[@corvusXXIcentury]

[@flangeres1752]

Quality and inspiration! C.G.T. Ukiah, CA

[@jaytea42]

Joe played with such passion... con fiero! not another cerebral numbers player!

[@gabri3l367]

Immenso !

[@jesseimpersonal]

There's a video on KZbin of Joe doing this tune as a duo with Ella Fitzgerald, pretty sweet!

[@rhmayer1]

His stuff with Ella has always been some of my favorite Joe Pass. He was just excellent with her.

いいなあ…。

[@stevelogan755]

Wow

Primer on how to learn to play Joe's beautiful arrangements, assuming you know where all the notes on the fretboard exist. Establish the key and then learn the melody. When you know how to play the melody in various positions on the fret board, discover where the chords are in the fret position you are playing. Playing guitar solo in this manner is like taking a walk. You need to anticipate your destination. And start by playing quite slowly and deliberately. Then increase the speed as necessary. If you read notation, all you need is a lead sheet with the melody and the written chords. Tablature is a waste of time and energy. Like trying to learn a soliloquy in a Shakespearean play one letter at a time.

[@noname-il5kt]

Thank you! Really nice from you to take time and write this down

[@m.r.2183]

Nice analogy about walking in the park and anticipating the destination. But with all due respect joe doesn’t play arrangements in the true sense of that word. He plays it differently every time which is part of his genius. The timing, phrasing, rhythm, harmonic knowledge are on a very high level. You can’t really boil all of that down to a formula.

[@cherraelizondo]

Un poco de Joe y otra de Bill Evans y la vida fluye.

[@gerriepieters9033]

Ik heb nog niet veel gitaristen gezien die dit kunnen....wat een talent..de grote..JOE PASS..r.i.p

[@leelarson107]

I'm glad that he did this as a straight instrumental. Putting a vocal in with this wouldn't work. A vocal on this particular song would need a full orchestra as a soft backup.

[@sylavacolsatchi6084]

Bravooo!

[@manguera9]

the concept of the arrengement of guitar solo comes from piano sheet music ,like Teddy Wilson

[@harrytheguard]

tabs? jazz is a feeling and all about improv

[@coastalbeer]

I like it plain and simple. All the extra notes detract from the simple beauty of the tune. Yep.

[@StarNazz]

anyone got tabs of this beautiful song???

This is what happens when you sit in prison for a couple of years on drug charges and all you do is practice guitar all day every day.
