Sounds Of Synanon

Deluxe packaging includes 12-page booklet with rare photos, memorabilia & updates, as well as the original liner notes + 7 bonus tracks. This edition contains the complete original long unavailable 1962 Joe Pass LP Sounds of Synanon (Pacific Jazz PJ48). It presents an unusual instrumental combination with baritone horn and bongos in a programme of originals by Joe Pass and other members of the band. All the musicians here, including Pass himself, were at the time recuperating patients at the Synanon Drug Centre in California, hence the title of the album. As a bonus, Essential Jazz Classics have added a complete trio session recorded that same year and featuring Pass in a trio format backed by the great Richard "Groove" Holmes on organ, and Lawrence Marable on drums.
