Intercontinental is an album by jazz guitarist Joe Pass, released in 1970. The album is a collection of mainly swing and Latin jazz standards with the exception of the country/pop hit "Ode to Billie Joe". A highlight of the album is Joe's Blues, a fine example of Joe's musical range, taste and splendid technique. Pass, a virtuoso solo performer, seems quite at ease within the guitar/bass/drums trio format. His signature chord melody style, interspersed seamlessly with bebop and swing single note lines, is heard throughout. Drummer Kenny Clare and bassist Eberhard Weber do a fine job respectively. (This album is notable as a rare example of Eberhard Weber playing straight ahead bass on covers of standards.)
