Jazzers: Does anyone know what guitar Joe Pass used on
all those _Virtuoso_ recordings and the duo stuff with
Ella and JJ Johnson? He had such a great sound, but I
can't place it, and I have never heard anyone else
sound like that.

A separate issue: I know there are many people who
record on this list, so here is a request: Give lots
of info on your liner notes of your cds. I love to
read about the artist, and I am always disappointed
when there is so little info. Case in point: I just
bought Buzzelli's "What Goes Around" and there is
almost no info. I want to know as much as possible
about these guys. Especially the gear, but also bio
stuff, hell, even shoe size and favorite philosopher!

I believe on the early ones he was still playing a Gibson ES-175. On most of
the later ones I'm pretty sure he played a custom made D'Aquisto.
