Leigh does a nice interview with Joe Pass - not sure when, probably late 1980's. Joe talks about his life in the music business and the musicians that inspired him early in his career.
Joe is and will always be the "GodFather of Bebop" guitar player RIP my friend. The world misses you Thank God your music will always stay ALIVE!! Happy Birthday Hope you are having a great celebration up there with the other catz!
A very interesting insightful interview with one on the greatest Jazz guitarist ever. Hearing Joe Pass for the first time astounded and amazed me, drawing me extricably to wanting to playing this form of the art of guitar.
Thank you so much ,great posting , i practise every day to keep his way of playin tunes still on, and some of his art is a pure blessing..such a gracefull player and person..
Wonderful interview and certainly enlightening. I admired Joe Pass but never got to see him in person. So humble and yet a master. Love the interview, thank you.

If Joe Pass had heard guitarists like Marcus Teixeira, Guinga, Helio Delmiro, Chico Pinheiro, Romero Lubambo, and Nelson Faria, he would have been more optimistic about Brazilian music... I guess it was not the right time he was in Brazil. Joe Pass was the untouchable ultimate jazz guitar master!
From the references to "disco" and "two and four speakers" (which seems to imply quadraphonic sound) and also from the references to Brazilian music (Tudo Bem! was released in 1978) I would guess this is from the late '70s, but that's just an uneducated guess!
@@TheLeighKammanLegacyProject spb 78 This is correct. Consider also that Pass says he was in Brazil "during Carnival", which is in February. Marc Myers in his JazzWax blog recently writes of Pass touring Brazil "during the winter of 1977". www.jazzwax.com/2020/02/joe-pass-tudo-bem.html So the likelihood is this is 1977. If you're in the NYC area, another good source would be Robert Bander's master's thesis written on Pass: "An investigation into the life and playing style of Joe Pass." The Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University has a copy of this.
That was simply magnificent. Day by day I am more convinced that guitar players can be divided into Joe Pass and everyone else.

There's Mr. Joe Pass, and all of his trying to be him (but always falling short)!

Funny, I don’t hear Joe as a bebop player at all. Jimmy Raney is The Godfather of bebop to these ears.
Not many were at his level of musicality. Absolute legend
My favorite alongside Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, George Benson

He still is...
Yes, cannot be rivalled
I grew up up with Mr. Kamman in Minnesota .A true aristocrat in the best sense of the word .
I like when interviewed people ask a question they didn't understand to be repeated. It shows a great deal of humility. Typically Joe Pass.
I'm from Oklahoma City and have been here since 1981. Would love to know the venue he mentions in the interview here.

Thanks for the detective work and you're probably accurate. I would upgrade your guess to educated. Thanks for your interest. Brad

I wonder if Joe ever heard of Baden Powell?
Who did Joe Pass take lessons from if anyone?
Self taught in front of the radio.
How did he find the chords and scales or did he?
One person doesn't know the changes.
LOL
So TRUE...Can't believe it! What is there to dislike about this?
