Our Take

It's time to grab your beret, put on your funky sunglasses, and get ready to dive into the jazzy world of guitar virtuoso Joe Pass with his iconic album Sounds of Synanon. This reissue includes seven bonus tracks that will have you grooving in your seat from start to finish.

From the moment the needle drops on the opening track, "Synanon," you can tell you're in for a wild ride. Pass's intricate guitar work is like a rollercoaster of emotions, taking you from smooth, sultry melodies to frenetic, jaw-dropping solos in the blink of an eye.

The album's title track, "Sounds of Synanon," is a funky, toe-tapping gem that will transport you straight to the swinging jazz clubs of the 1960s. Pass's impeccable technique and playful improvisation make each note feel like a conversation between old friends, with every twist and turn keeping you on the edge of your seat.

The bonus tracks on this reissue only add to the magic of the original album, showcasing Pass's versatility and innovation as a musician. Tracks like "Stompin' at the Savoy" and "Stuffy" will have you bopping along with a smile on your face, while slower numbers like "There Will Never Be Another You" will tug at your heartstrings.

Overall, Joe Pass's Sounds of Synanon is a timeless classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Joe Pass serenade you into the night with his mesmerising guitar melodies. Cheers, old chap!
