Joe Pass

My heart is at half staff because of the death of guitarist Joe Pass (“Joe Pass, the Giant of Jazz Guitarists,” May 25). His virtuosity brought so much pleasure through the years. I recall in particular his improvisational musical conversations with Ella Fitzgerald. They faced one another, looked into each other’s eyes and, just like a longtime happily married couple who can complete each other’s sentences, or need no words at all, they brought pure joy to the audience.
Jazz fans all over the world will miss Joe Pass. VALERIE FIELDS
