Kevin O'Connell Quartet Featuring Adam Brenner: Hot New York Minutes

Joe Pass: Meditation
by Ken Dryden
Although a few jazz guitarists still perform solo concerts in the early days of the 21st century, none of them has produced anything approaching the series of live recordings by Joe Pass during his two decades as a Pablo artist.
