Hynotic, subtle and the same time wonderfully soulful this record surely sits within the top five of all time Blue Note releases. It's the ultimate late night session. The consistently wonderfully Kenny Burrell who makes the difficult sound effortlessly simple gives a masterclass in Jazz guitar playing with an endlesss tapestry of smooth licks that melt into the instinctive groove of Stanley Turrentine's sax. It's a partnership made in heaven, they work so languidly off each other on, "Mule" The way Burrell brings in the track on,"Soul lament," with his emotive twanging are classic bars of music. I am also particularly fond of the waltz tempo on,"Wavy Gravy."
This record is wonderfully focussed, Burrell's musical philosophy is stamped ... Read More:

This is the first of a series of recording made by Pass beginning in 1973, and it features him in masterful, powerful form. His formidable technique is simply stunning - he effectively accompanies himself, creating incredible richness with full chord backing and harmonic basslines, over which he simultaneously plays a free and beautifully phrased melody line - musically it is almost impossible to imagine that only one man is playing, and with absolutely no overdubbing! To add to the achievement, Pass decides to play some of the most challenging, up tempo pieces in the American popular Jazz repertoire.

"Cherokee" is a fast, intricate bop number, a classic more usually attempted by a full big band, and that he manages to make it his own ... Read More:

This is the ultimate jazz guitar album, it does'nt need analyzing, its the bench mark, Joe at his magnificent best, a fabulous tribute to Django.
There will be other guitarists that can play the guitar with their feet, behind their head, whilst eating celery, so what? If I could have attained the standard on this album, I'd die a happy bunny.

I struggle to name an Oscar Peterson album that is better than this one. With NHOP on bass and Joe Pass on Guitar this is the most technically accomplished trio of Oscar Petersons career.

As an example of how to play the blues you can do no better than listen to Chicago blues. This is stunning playing. The tempo is not particulary fast but Peterson burns up the keyboard, and it is more than just a lot of notes. There are some wonderful rhythmic nuances which keep what is a long piece (13:42) interesting. You could equate these nuances to gear changes.

Interestingly you can get a sheet music transcription of Petersons first solo from Chicago blues. Its published in the marvellous volume of sheet music "Oscar Peterson Note for Note". ... Read More:

Andre Previn became famous as a jazz pianist while still in his late teens, and made some great albums with Shelley Manne and others. Then in the late 1960s he began to devote himself to classical music, and attained even greater fame as a conductor and as a classical pianist. This CD was made in 1989, when he was still busy with his conducting. He missed playing with jazz people, and wanted to return to his musical past. He hand-picked Joe Pass and Ray Brown to work with him for the first time. The result is a relaxed and swinging album.
