Music reviews of For Django
Music Review: Pass is No Django
Rating: 3 Stars
Sorry, I suppose I'm not a Joe Pass fan, though I recognize him as a great jazz guitarist, but his interpretations of Django's work left me cold.
Let me qualify that I am an amateur guitar player, that I do not have an inherent love of much of jazz probably because much of it reminds me of elevator music, that I am currently working on acquiring a taste for jazz (as one might acquire a taste for, say, beer), and am in the process of learning the jazz standards mainly to make myself a more accomplished guitar player.
That said, I can listen to Django and gypsy-jazz stylists like Jorgenson all day long, but this album got only one listen through for me. Pass may have captured Django's tunes note-for-note but he leaves the emotional component and the gypsy style too far behind. You'd better be a Pass afficionado to buy this album, and, if you are, you'll hear some great guitar playing (which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 2), but please don't form opinions about Django's work from it. Listen to Django instead.
