Duets is an album by jazz guitarists Joe Pass and John Pisano, released in 1991. It was reissued in 1996 by Original Jazz Classics.
Contents
The sessions for Duets were based on producer Eric Miller's idea for Pass and Pisano to spontaneously improvise to a video collage of National Geographic footage, cartoons, and movie clips.
Reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Steven MacDonald wrote of the album "A pair of guitarists with a great deal of affection for each other's styles, showcased here in a set of delicate duets that allow both to shine equally. There's never any false flash or glamour, only charm and style." The JazzTimes review concluded "Aside from the obvious rapport between the players, the blend of acoustic guitar and electric is a warm, happy one. It's another reminder of the void left by Pass' death."
