Episode description
Goes2Eleven starts its run with a tribute to the jazz giant Joe Pass (1929-1994). We take a look at the guitarist’s early years in Johnstown, PA, his struggles with addiction throughout the 50’s, and his ascent to stardom through legendary collaborations with Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson, and his final years as a peerless solo guitar virtuoso.
