Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Two Sympatico Musicians.......2006-02-01

Joe Pass and Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen are the two best on jazz guitar and acoustic bass, respectively, who ever lived. To hear them together, and the operative word is "together" is a treat all too rare for jazz lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Truly excellent playing from both Pass and Petersen.......2005-08-29

I have all Virtuoso CDs but only a few of his small group recordings. (I'd like to buy some of his 60's recordings as I hear they are excellent.) I got this CD because I have a book of guitar transcriptions of some of his Virtuoso solos and the only one that wasn't from the Virtuoso CDs was the version of "Your Own Sweet Way" from this album. I love that song so I got the CD to help me learn the transcription. I had never bought "Chops" before because I was afraid that, given the title, it might be too much of a self-indulgent excersize in seeing who could play Charlie Parker lines faster. But I was quite pleasantly surprised. While the technical playing of both Pass and Petersen are top-notch here, so is the overall musicianship. They play wonderfully together with great empathy, subtlety and imagination as well as fantastic "chops". So the title may be a bit misleading. This album isn't just about technical proficiecy but rather about two fantastic musicians making great music together. (While also displaying amazing "chops".) I recommend it highly.

5 out of 5 stars Pure Genius!.......1999-06-17

Joe Pass never fails to amaze. Joe could play swing, be bop, or blues.He was the worlds best jazz guitarist,bar none.
