Joe Pass - Guitar
Guitarist Joe Pass was not the first to underscore Fred Astaire’s affinity for jazz--Astaire himself had recorded with jazz musicians in the Fifties--but Pass may have been the ideal interpreter of an all-Astaire jazz recital. The guitarist and the hoofer shared virtuosity as effortless as it was complete, impeccable taste and timing, a nonchalance that could not disguise deep passion, and the inspiration to be both ideal partners and nonpareil solo performers. In a program of standards that Astaire introduced in his classic films plus two original blues (one a bonus track), Pass rises to the challenge and makes the music dance.

Joe Pass recorded at least a dozen sets of unaccompanied guitar for the Pablo label, and although one can have a very viable jazz collection without owning all of them, none of them are throwaways. This fairly late effort finds Pass paying tribute to the magic of Fred Astaire on his "Blues for Fred" (which is played in a medley with "They All Laughed") and a variety of top standards from the 1930s. As usual, Pass interprets the music with taste, solid swing, and constant creativity within the bop tradition. His versions of "Cheek to Cheek," "Night and Day," "Lady Be Good" and "The Way You Look Tonight" in particular are quite enjoyable and make one appreciate the uniqueness of this classic guitarist.
