· This 5 CD set issued from FILM SCORE MONTHLY (FSM) in 2010. The contents are rare TV sound track from 1962 to 1976.
Actually I happened to know about this album on 2012 at t FSM's site.
I noticed that there are the real name of Joe Pass (Joe Passalaqua) on musicians list, so I bought it. But I couldn't find which track(s) did Joe took part in. So I asked to Lukas Kendall, collection producer, about it. Lukas made me know as below.

"Joe Pass played on the Assignment Vienna episode "The Last Target" (recorded Sept 8 1972).
I do not know specifically which tracks, but "The Last Target" was the first episode which also had the long versions of "Jake's Theme," "Jake's Theme II" etc. that we included throughout disc 2 of the TV Omnibus. So he must be the guitar on those tracks."

There are no typical Joe's guitar solo on "The Last Target"(disc 2), but there are some guitar comping sound. Maybe Joe & Tommy played guitar as the arranged note.
Joe contracted with Pablo label circa Dec. of 1972, so you can say this recording session is almost the last studio session. Then Joe said "good-by" to studio recordings era, started his glory history !
