The word chops is a major understatement when describing the talents of guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. Their duo Pablo date (which has been reissued as a CD in the OJC series) is as exciting and full of inventive interplay as one would hope. Pass and Pedersen play an ad-lib blues, nine jazz standards including a three-quarters version of Lover Man, plus Oleo, Quiet Nights, Tricrotism, and Yardbird Suite. Pass in particular sounds stimulated during this session and comes up with some of his hottest playing. Have You Met Miss Jones?, Lover Man, L5 Blues, Oleo, Come Rain or Come Shine, Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars, Tricrotism, Old Folks, Yardbird Suite, In Your Own Sweet Way
