Simplicity/A Sign of the Times album for sale Product Description

Simplicity/A Sign of the Times album for sale by Joe Pass was released Jul 23, 2002 on the Euphoria Jazz label. In 2002, Euphoria released Simplicity/A Sign of the Times, which contained two albums -- Simplicity (1967, originally released on Pacific Jazz) and A Sign of the Times (1965, originally on World Pacific) -- by Joe Pass on one compact disc. ~ Tim Sendra This disc pairs two of Pass' World Pacific albums, Simplicity, from 1967, which gives us the post-bebop Joe swinging elegantly and improvising eloquently with a small group of first-rate sidemen and an urbane and sophisticated feel, and 66's A Sign of the Times, on which Joe, accompanied by Chet Baker, graces the hit tunes of the 60's with his jazz chops. Simplicity/A Sign of the Times CD music contains a single disc with 22 songs. ...See Full Description

Dissappointing
This is not Joe Pass jazz. I don't know how they talked him into doing this CD. He must have needed the money. While listening I kept feeling words like groovy, cool man, and seeing girls with big hair after using a whole can of hair spray. But, Joe's playing so it's worth being in my library.

Unexpectedly good
I bought this CD knowing nothing about it. Clearly an attempt to commercialize Mr. Pass' great talent,this compilation is nonetheless a classy offering ,and the second album with Chet Baker is a gem,full of lovely sweet tunes and very tasteful playing by both men. A welcome re-release,with Joe swinging lyrically,and soulfully throughout. Excellent value, and well worth having.

It's Cocktail Jazz
Beginning in 1970, Joe Pass began playing the highly idiosyncratic music we remember him for: sophisticated improvisations, frequently in a solo setting or accompanied by some of the best musicians in the world. This music was recorded before that, and it sounds about like all the other nondescript jazz you heard in bars throughout North America in the 1970s. The solos are nice, but they're nothing to write home about.
By Jim (Calhoun, GA)
