An Evening With Joe Pass

[ed. I met Joe one summer when I was working with the city Parks and Rec dept. setting up a mobile soundstage for outdoor concerts. We talked for maybe half an hour, and he was as nice and funny and down to earth as anyone you'd ever want to meet (cigar included) - an 'everyman' genius. I still remember cracking up when he told us about the many "fans" who'd invariably show up at his concerts wanting to give him lessons ("hey Joe, you ever try this chord?" - fingers splayed in weird patterns along their forearms, hahaha... For sure, don't miss the interview starting here at around 13:35]
