Reception
Regarding Meditation, Jim Ferguson wrote (in JazzTimes): "In Pass' hands, no tune seemed to elude performance, and he tackled everything--from bebop numbers to waltzes to standards to Latin pieces--with astonishing ease and effectiveness, something that is amply evident throughout this set...highlights include a pensive rubato treatment of "Shadow Waltz," a slowly grooving "Mood Indigo" and a swinging "They Can't Take That Away From Me," whose title reflects a sentiment that applies to Pass' position at the very top of the list of the world's finest jazz guitarists."[3]
