#2... Jazz Guitar Player Joe Pass
2007-09-02 17:51:00 Yesterday Charlie Christian was inducted into the ATOMIC Greatest Guitarists of All Time List at the #1 spot. #2 on the list we have another Jazz guitar player, the amazing: Joe Pass Joe Pass hands-down was the most incredibly skilled guitarist who ever lived. Even if you don't enjoy Jazz guitar, you can appreciate his mind-blowing melodic improvising. Not to be a jerk, but for those of you who think Yngwie Malmsteen or Michael Angelo Batio are amazing shredders, Joe Pass makes them look like 10-year-old girls. If Pass were alive today, I can imagine him shredding in a way that would probably make some people's heads explode like in the movie Scanners. If there were ever an alien who dressed in a human costume any time throughout the course of history, it would have been the 2nd greatest guitarist of all time, Joe Pass.

Bud Shank / Clare Fischer / Joe Pass - Brasamba (1963)
2007-07-07 02:39:00 We should thanks Caetano Rodrigues for this album, part of his last set of contributions to Loronix. Released in 1963, this is one of those albums recorded by American Jazz musicians in response of the arriving of Bossa Nova in the United States. Bossamba was on my hunting list since I saw it for the first time in Caetano Rodrigues book, now is time to hear it, altogether with my friends at Loronix.This is Bud Shank, Clare Fischer and Joe Pass - Brasamba (1963), for Pacific Jazz. In spite of its importance, Brasamba worth by putting together these three legends. Bud Shank, a well-known artist by his great collaboration to the music from Brazil and Brazilian musicians, pretty recently, he recorded another album together with Joao Donato. Clare Fischer is a gifted pianist that was introduced for the first time with a fantastic Bossa Nova record by Caetano, the first international Bossa Nova album made available at Loronix. Joe Pass is a name that does not need any kind of introduction...

2007-03-19 02:10:00 There is a story behind this post. First, it is a really awaited post, especially for the friends who visits and share ideas with CBox. Second, I need to give credits for two contributors, Caetano Rodrigues, which is the friend who sent this perfect copy to Loronixers, second, Cesar Saldanha, who sent first, but I did not make it since this record was on Caetano list of future contributions. Thanks Cesar. Thanks Caetano.This is Joe Pass & Paulinho da Costa- Tudo Bem! (1978), for Original Jazz Classics, the Bossa Nova / Brazilian music tribute of the legendary guitarist Joe Pass, featuring renowned Brazilian musicians, such as Oscar Castro Neves, Paulinho da Costa and others.

We have been speaking a lot about this record and now it is time to hear and share our thoughts about it. Tracks include:PersonnelJoe Pass(guitar)Oscar Castro Neves(guitar)Octavio Bailly(bass)Claudio Slon(drums)Pauli...
