    I've been listening to some of those recordings as individual tune videos for years, didn't actually know of this DVD of the entire concert. Thanks for posting. This is perhaps my favorite Joe Pass, not just him but the band is excellent and it's a great recording. The tone of that acoustic bass, wow, and the player sure knows how to listen. Same for the drums.

    Bob Magnusson worked with many of the best. (I have a video of him with Herb Ellis that I love.)
    Here is a bit more about him, in his own words. Seriously, this guy got around!

    And yet even he seemed momentarily thrown by "That's Earl, Brother." It's fun to really listen to his comments when Joe hands him the chart and says it's a Dizzy Gillespie tune, used to have an intro but he forgot it, etc.

    Joe could really call obscure but delightful tunes.

    That opening blues is transcribed in the book/CD Joe Pass: On Guitar. (Includes performances of ATTYA and Stella, IIRC). It's a good look at how Joe thought and played. Lots of examples.

    The way I understand it he has retired from playing now due to osteo arthritis. For all I know he might still be surfing though! I was so lucky to be able to hire Bob Magnusson for studio stuff (including jazz!) a couple times. He has always been the greatest player with the greatest sound IMO, and is a nice, unassuming gentleman with plenty of fun stories to tell indeed!

    This is worth a watch too - useful takeaway I got was to refrain from putting motor oil on your fretboard....
