Those Joe Pass VHS tapes are now available on DVD. Jazz lines and Blues Side of Jazz were released a few weeks ago on the hot licks label. Even better is the release of Joe at Montreux in 75 and 77 on DVD! Only available in PAL format which isnt cool but most folks dont realize if the buy a "cheapo" DVD player like polaroid etc., they play all regions anyway Has anyone ever heard Cal Collins from OH. I met hime years ago---he was great! |

Speaking of the ES-175(single pickup) guitar that was the "workhorse" of so many jazz players, has anyone seen the "not made anymore" Guild Savoy X-150? I couldn't afford a "vintage" ES-175, so I got the Guild when they first came out about seven years ago. It's a great ax. Heavier than a bucket of hog's liver, but a great ax just the same. I had an Epi Joe Pass model with a spruce top. One of the first. I thought it was solid spruce since the grain on the inside matched the grain on the outside, but when I had to replace a pot I found it was laminated. Now they are putting some kind of cheap maple on the top. If you can find one of the Ibanez or older Joe Pass models they are worth the $$$$$. I saw Joe play a D-Quisto, and at one time he even played a Tele. Like they say, "It's in the hands" |

This too ... Barney Kessel & Herb Ellis play The Flintstones Theme ... Herb Ellis and Steve Howe are the worst offenders I know of that dread disease ... guitar-player-mouth. [This message was edited by Andy Volk on 01 May 2006 at 03:49 PM.] |

Cool clip, thanks. Barney is probably my favorite all-around jazz guitar player - I probably got that from my off-and-on jazz guitar teacher over the last 15 years. Barney's tone and feel, coupled with his ability to play anything from sophisticated and beautiful chord-melody ballads to tough barn-burners at breakneck tempos always left me with my mouth open. He was one sophisticated cat - listen to the Poll Winners albums with him, Ray Brown, and Shelly Manne on Contemporary. But Herb's single-string playing is some of the finest ever put to wax, IMO. |

Great stuff. Barney has to have the fastest little finger of any guitar player I ever saw. Watch how he kicks his little finger way out away from the fretboard. It doesn't slow him down any though. LOL ------------------ |

Joe Pass And Howard Roberts are two of the greatest players to ever hold the instrument. When I worked for Scotty at Scotty's Music, back in the mid 70's, We brought Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Les Paul, and Pat Martino in for clinics and concerts at different times. They were not only great players, but great people who were willing to share their knowledge of music with anyone who would listen. There are so many great players on all instruments. I tell young guitar players to listen to all instruments. We can learn so much buy doing that. There are so many great players in all kinds of music that have passed on, but have left their recorded music for all of us to hear. And listen I do!!!! Bobby |

Thanks for the clip, Andy. A great, great piece. After watching it twice, I just had to give it a bump. Thanks again. Mac |

Last nite while attending a high school play my son is in I noticed the boy who ran the lights was also in posession of a beautiful Joe Pass signature guitar, I asked him how he got it and he said his Grand Pa got it for him, Just curious, what is that guitar worth?? It was beautiful and the woodwork was blond and highly figured.Lots of inlay. Bill Bailey ------------------ |

Michael, A friend of mine keeps buying and selling all the gotta-have-it-cuz-everybody-else-does guitars (D 28s, 335s, Pauls, strats, j200s). But the only one he keeps is his Guild X 150. I'm glad people overlook Guilds so I can get them cheap. Hit the Guild foum http://www.letstalkguild.com/phpBB2/index.php ------------------ [This message was edited by Darryl Hattenhauer on 10 May 2006 at 11:21 PM.] |
