If you like Joe Pass, check this out.  Playing only with Pederson so very focused.  Try 7:18 for a nice versions of "Round Midnight".

mahgister, sorry if this cuts your digestion time short.  Here are two more guitarists you should know if not already familiar with them.  Interestingly they both recorded with your countryman Oscar Peterson, not exactly a mellow artist, although ...

Interesting point frog (as usual).  I would think someone with Elling's stature could command a better suited conductor.  Someone with a better sense of jazz and "attitude" as you say.

Lots of interesting comments.  They simply show how divergent opinions can be. I alway considered "Pet Sounds" to be an OK album, but never to the high esteem some place it.  I wonder if some revere it just because it was said to influence the Be...
