Weber, who comes from Stuttgart, Germany, would soon develop his own electric bass, but at this point he was still playing the traditional acoustic contrabass. Third in the group was British drummer Kenny Clare. Pass chose the program for the recording, mixing standards with originals. It's amazing how such typical big band pieces as \"Stompin' at the Savoy\" and \"Lil' Darlin'\" sound in trio; Pass and company swing like they were Count Basie and his orchestra.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MPS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50390015902027,"sku":"1143713","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/41e25994-c5b6-44ed-86ca-1dfe09d9fa9b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726379602"},{"product_id":"behind-better-days","title":"Behind Better Days","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally bonus tracks of the reissue CD from P-VINE released in 2002 taken from outtake sessions in recording of \"Better Days\" in 1971 and now for the first time on vinyl. \u003ci\u003eBetter Days\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded in 1971 by renowned jazz guitarist Joe Pass with a group of talented West Coast musicians, and was highly acclaimed by listeners of jazz guitar, acid jazz, and soul.
