Customer Reviews:

give a listen to the samples on this one........2006-12-06

If you like what you hear on the samples you will love the cd. It grows on you and these masters are having a great time playing

great music; awful recording (or CD transfer).......2006-08-16

I agree with everyone else; the music on this album is completely magical. Two masters at work with a great rhythm section, very spontaneous-sounding contrapuntal harmonies, unbounded joy in every tune, and some interesting arrangements.

This is also the worst-sounding CD (or LP, for that matter) that I have ever heard. It sounds worse than lo-res MP3s played over the Web; I have recordings of 78s that sound better. I cannot believe that even Laserlight would release this. I have other Laserlight Cds and none of them sound this bad. If they remastered this and made it sound better, I would buy it again. That's the only reason for 4 stars rather than 5.

Still, it's worth getting if you can listen past the horrible sound quality.

Remaster this thing!.......2001-11-02

The original recording is obviously priceless, but the transfer to CD is just awful- especially in the first few cuts. I thought something was wrong with my CD player at first. They really ruined this recording for any kind of aficionado. You can tell by the price that it has been treated as a throwaway. They should go back to the original master and do it again now that the process is more bulletproof these days.

Joe's Jam.......2001-09-10

If you love Joe Pass, you'll enjoy this recording. Similar to other Pass recordings, this one sounds very spontaneous and it is fun to listen to. It does sound rough at times in terms of the production of the CD, especially the drums, however the quality of the jam is outstanding. Playing a mix of old time standards including such favorites as Ray Charles'"Sweet Georgia Brown," Pass and Ellis weave catchy, blues based solos,playing off each other brilliantly. The two compliment each other effectively, each pushng the other to greater improvisational heights. What emerges is a fun and simple jam between two guitarists who are not afraid to stretch the boundaries of their styles.

He's right, the recording quality sucks.......2001-03-02

Just to reiterate the previous review. The playing and recording of the guitars is very good, but something is dreadfully wrong with the recording of the drums. The cymbals sound like sleigh bells! I played it for a friend and we almost died laughing.
