In the sixth episode of Jazz Guitar, the spotlight is on Joe Pass in the company of Duke Ellington, Ray Brown, and Louis Bellson. It’s a genuine jam session where the musicians, when necessary, call out chords to each other.
Additionally, Les Paul in his jazz guitarist days, playfully interacting musically with Nat Cole, who wasn’t yet ‘King’ but already a pianist.
Next, Martijn van Iterson, both as leader of his own quartet and as a soloist with The Jazz Orchestra Of The Concertgebouw, performing three compositions by Reinier Baas.
Furthermore, blues with Indian influences from John McLaughlin, and Philip Catherine plays a pivotal role in saxophonist Charlie Mariano’s emotional farewell concert.
