Joseph Passalaqua era nato a New Brunswick nel New Jersey (13 gennaio 1929 - 23 Maggio 1994)  figlio di Mariano Passalaqua, operaio siderurgico nato a Gualtieri Sicaminò in sicilia, crebbe a Johnstown in Pennsylvania. Nato in una famiglia non musicali, Pass ha iniziato a suonare la chitarra dopo essere stato ispirato dall'attore Gene Autry, che  vestito da cow-boy suonava la chitarra in un film. Il Padre di Pass ha riconosciuto presto che suo figlio era interessato alla musica e lo ha spinto sempre a suonare brani a orecchio, a non suonare pezzi scritti appositamente per lo strumento, a studiare le scale e a non "lasciare spazi vuoti" - riempire tutto lo spazio sonoro tra le note della melodia e gli accordi. Dopo essersi trasferito a York City, Joe cade vittima della droga, e trascorre gran parte del 1950 in una relativa oscurità. Pass riuscito ad emergere attraverso un soggiorno al Synanon, un programma di riabilitazione. Durante quel periodo ha suonato la chitarra e affinanto le sue capacità. Poi suonerà con Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie e molti altri.

In the music of Joe Pass we see the culmination and perfection of all that preceded him. This gentle giant of Jazz guitar defined the spirit of the music and he did it with grace and style. In this book, Joe explains his musical and guitaristic approch to the easily over - complicated process of Jazz improvisation. The book includes 50 musical examples and 3 complete transcriptions; all of which are contained on the included CD. All the music is written in standard notation and Tablature.

Example pulls together all the principles we have been working on thus far and takes a few steps further in this study on improvising over a static mai7 chord. Check out these points of importance for study:

1. Look into the use of pure diatonic lines and what makes them tick. What chord tones do they begin and end on? What is the shape and range of the line? Finally, how is scalewise movement balanced with skips?

2. Pay close attention to non-diatonic notes. Are they used as ascending/descending passing tones? Do they accent a chord-tone only? Or are they used in the context of a substitution of V7 altered over Cmai7 as discussed? Telltale signs would be the rhythmic placement of the substitution in the bar and especially how the tension is built and released (resolved) to specific chord tones. As you will notice, these lines commonly resolve to the 5th (G) of the Cmail chord.

3. The bracketed or circled notes and phrases will assist you in understanding their harmonic purpose in the line. I stands for Cmai7 while V7 stands for G7 (altered). For example, ''I 3" refers to E, the 3rd of the Cmai7 chord, while "V7:b9" refers to Ab, the b9 of the G7 chord.
