Sealed 2022 180gm Audiophile Reissue, Part Of The Blue Note Tone Poet Series. "Long Considered A Classic, Guitarist Joe Pass' Fourth Date As A Leader Finds Him Performing Music That Was Composed By Django Reinhardt, Was Part Of His Repertoire, Or Is One Of Two More Recent Tributes (John Lewis' "Django" And Pass' "For Django"). Pass Is Joined By The Rhythm Guitar Of John Pisano, Bassist Jim Hughart, And Drummer Colin Bailey; The Quartet Would Reunite In The 1980s.
