Down Beat Magazine March 13, 1975 Vol. 42 No. 5 – Joe Pass, Michael Howell Feature

This vintage March 13, 1975 issue of Down Beat Magazine features a spotlight on guitarist Joe Pass in “Life on the Far Side of the Hour Glass” by Lee Underwood, tracing his journey from the streets of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to becoming one of jazz guitar’s greatest figures. Pass reflects on his personal history, musical philosophy, and the making of a true guitarist.

Additional features include Michael Cuscuna’s profile of Randy Newman, highlighting his sharp, ironic songwriting style, and Herb Nolan’s “Brotherhood of Rhythm” on percussionist Norman Connors, whose innovative approach has broadened the possibilities of jazz drumming. Record reviews cover a wide array of artists including Phil Woods, Ravi Shankar, Hank Crawford, The Allman Brothers, Lionel Hampton/Buddy Rich, Tom Waits, and Labelle. Guitarist Ralph Towner is featured in the Blindfold Test, while profiles highlight Michael Howell and Lee Ritenour. Live coverage includes Sun Ra, Miles Davis, and the NYJRC tribute to Louis Armstrong. Instructional features focus on guitar sightreading, with contributions from Dr. William L. Fowler and Howard Roberts, and the issue closes with dual reviews of Bill Cole’s Miles Davis: A Musical Biography.
