Video=The Genius of Joe Pass (Vestapol 13073) & track #.

Joe played "Nobs" on Jlul 17 & 18. "Nobs" is the blues tune, usually Joe never plays his original blues tune twice, but this tune is dedicated to the producer of the Festival, Claude Nobs, so Joe played 2 days for him.
They misprinted many titles of Joe's blues tunes. I guess if Joe is alive now, he might forget all titles except "Nobs".
But I think the company have to pay much attention to Joe's original songs, too.
