Master of solo jazz guitar.

Most certainly is! I also think he's a master in band formats too!

One of my favorite recordings of all times is Quadrant with Pass, Milt Jackson, Ray Brown, and Mickey Roker. Sooooo good.

I have that album and agree! They also did a trio one without the drums that is good (I forget the name though).

Hey, you and I have chatted on the Ibanez Artcore forums I think? My screenname is jazzgeetar over there. Cheers!

The duo album he did with Niels Henning Orsted Pederson(Chops) is one of the best jazz recordings ever in my opinion. It is always in my car.

Can anyone name some albums where Joe is playing guitar solos , as opposed to solo guitar ? I've heard some ripping guitar solos with a band on KJZZ radio , and the dj mentioned Joe Pass, but i never catch what the albums are . Thank You !

Very Nice , those are just what i was looking for . Thanks !

Check out "The Complete Pacific Joe Pass Quartet Sessions"
compilation 5 disc set. On Mosaic IIRC.
Comes with a well written booklet on the circumstances of the sessions
and early Pass history.
Practically all blowing sessions.....On high rotate at my place!
...Albums covered include Les McCann - On Time.
Joe Pass -Catch Me
Joe Pass - For Django [includes some alt takes & previously unreleased tunes]
I love early Pass combo stuff where he's mainly playing single line.

My favorite playing of Joe Pass is his group playing, not his solo recordings. Here's some of my favorite albums:

Joe Pass Trio - Eximious
Joe Pass/Oscar Peterson/Ray Brown - The Giants
Oscar Peterson - Tribute to my Friends
Oscar Peterson - Night Child
Joe Pass - Catch Me

"For Django" was one of the first I heard along with "Sounds of Synanon".

Joe Pass Single note line recordings

Joy Spring is a must have. I think it's some of his best playing.

+1!!!!
I've transcribed all his solos from that CD.
Great solos.

Kris.Check out" Joe pass in Hamburg".He is playing in a big band format and his soloing is out of this world - you should get a lot of mileage out of this. I think this was his last with them.Cheers!

For those who study Joe Pass and dont want hours of transcribing I recommend "The Best of Joe Pass" by Wolf Marshall published by Hal Leonard(CD) included.This will give you enough to work on for months/years.
