I bought out a jazz radio station in my early digging days and got probably a whole crate of Pablo stuff. Only a couple were really listenable to me...I'm sure there's a whitewale or two on it though.
theres some ok stuff on that louis bellson explosion album.
I like that one. Right now I'm listening to a Joe Pass LP called Tudo Bem -it has a couple of nice spots. Pablo was patchy with its output but overall a pretty high quality catalogue with some outstanding moments (bad and good).
dizzy gillespi "bahiana" is the best one for my money. chico o'farell does the arrangments and there is even a really tasteful arp synth in the mix thats used sparingly but effectively.

Otherwise I'm bored with them
that Mike Longo record on pablo is whats real.
the height of 1978 jazz
(And if I'm not mistaken, they had two different artists named Joe Turner!)
When I just re-read that thread, I re-laughed for 3 minutes.

yes i will
nope. guitar interludes one of the few joe pass records not on the label.
except for a couple exceptions (already mentioned) pablo sucks
not
yeah that Coltrane is serious serious business
Those Ella Fitzgerald / Joe Pass duets are mostly incredible, but not suitable in content for a website such as this
I always dug the logo,but thats cuz my name is Pablo as well.
agreed on the ella/joe situations
but why not here?
NO BRAEKS
Probably my favore pablo release. Dollar bin shit.
Yeah, I always thought of Pablo artwork as the antithesis of Blue Note/Francis Wolff.
There is also some sweet vocoder scat moves that rock my fragile little world.
RED WAX FOR MY ASS PUSSY.
These are two of my favorite Coltrane LPs.
