What a great link. I remember Joe Pass well. He played a lot of gigs for my dad back in the day. Remember, when I was a kid I used to sit in on sessions all the time, in the control room. I will NEVER forget one particular afternoon in the studio: picture a room full of the best session musicians in the business, taking a break, when Joe started playing Bye Bye Blackbird solo....... when he finished, you coulda heard a pin drop. Our great friend Joe Beck (one of the very best, ever) said, "Holy fuckin' shit! That's it, I quit!" and everybody laughed. I still get chills thinking about that one.
That sort of thing happened a lot... Often, when sessions would end, a bunch of musicians would jam for a little while, and sometimes a new project would be born :)
