Joe Pass • Blues For Fred

 

Review:

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.

Reseña:

Joe Pass grabó al menos una docena de sets de guitarra sin acompañamiento para el sello Pablo, y aunque se puede tener una colección de jazz muy viable sin tenerlos todos, ninguno de ellos es desechable. Este esfuerzo bastante tardío encuentra a Pass rindiendo homenaje a la magia de Fred Astaire en su "Blues for Fred" (que se toca en un medley con "They All Laughed") y en una variedad de estándares superiores de los años 30. Como de costumbre, Pass interpreta la música con gusto, un sólido swing y una constante creatividad dentro de la tradición del bop. Sus versiones de "Cheek to Cheek", "Night and Day", "Lady Be Good" y "The Way You Look Tonight" en particular, son muy divertidas y hacen que uno aprecie la singularidad de este guitarrista clásico.
