His work, both as a sideman (Joe Pass) and a leader are a testament to his art.
I think it was Joe Pass that told this story about John’s legendary musical ear:
I caled a blues, and proceeded to go through the circle of 5ths, changing keys every chorus. John followed impeccably.
Afterward, John asked me, hey, did we change keys somewhere in there?
play on John. RIP
