I once went to an Oscar Peterson/Joe Pass concert at Boston Symphony Hall. Unfortunately, Oscar got snowed in in Canada and couldn’t make the performance.
Fortunatly though, they gave everybody back their money and Joe Pass came out and gave a free one hour solo concert.
I was a student at the Berklee College of Music then, and when the word got out that Joe Pass was giving a free concert, that hall filled up in no time. What a fabulously memorable night that was!!
I saw Joe pass in a small club in new Orleans in 1977. I may have been 20 feet from him or so as the place was small with tables. Amazing guy with a recognizable original style. Saw pat Martino in that same club another time. This was before his brain injury.
