Joe Pass - On A Clear Day solo

This is a transcription of Joe Pass' solo on "On A Clear Day" from the album "In Hamburg".

This more approachable solo from Joe Pass is full of beautiful, melodic lines that flow from one to the next over the course of two choruses.

He's backed by the NDR Big Band and the Radio Philharmonic Hanover, making it a great track to listen to and to play along with.

This fun, swinging solo has lots of language. There aren't many rhythms faster than 8th notes and there aren't any chords, allowing you to focus on developing 8th note lines with Pass' signature swing and tight control of articulations. Getting the notes is one thing, but matching Pass' 8th note feel is another!
