Title: You Don't Know Joe?
Review: In the world of jazz, the 1950's may well have been its golden decade.More specifically; the world of jazz guitarists was at its zenith during the 1950's.Heavyweight cats of the six-stringed jazz box like Tal Farlow, Johnny Smith, Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Herb Ellis,Barney Kessel, Mundell Lowe and the king, Django Reinhart were playing the most magnificant music during that decade.Joe Puma was in there too. Tal Farlow had dazzling speed and bebop chops;Joe Pass played guitar like Bill Evans played piano and Johnny Smith played beautiful sounds.What Joe Puma has in spades is class. Listen to this fine collection and you will hear a guitarist with such grace and elegance in his playing style. Hard to explain but, Joe's style is relaxed. He is a beautiful player and certainly worthy of being placed high on that 'A' list of great jazz string players!
