Specifications:
Norman Granz is one of the most important non-musicians in the history of jazz and no one has made a greater contribution to the staging, recording and filming of jazz concerts. This series of performances from the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival now makes a part of this legacyt available on DVD for the first time.
An exceptional virtusoso guitarist, Joe Pass was brought out of the shadows by Norman Granz, who rightly believed that here was a talent that deserved to be put in the spotlight. This DVD combines two complete solo performances from the 1975 Montreux Festival, and across these concerts you get to see the true scope of Joe Pass' immense abilities.
