Timeless

Joe Pass

I always believed that music of the purest form was that of the post war era, when jazz was really popular. It was no frills, no fancy gadgets, complex equipment, just simple trust and understanding between Man and his Instrument.

I say it is of the purest because it is timeless. It sounds wonderful in the yesteryears and today it still works.

Joe Pass romanticises Jazz with his fluent hands and bald emotion (pardon the pun). His picture itself is a scene of serenity. Listening to his music is like wading in a cool lake by the countryside in autumn, letting the water carry you away...
