Joe Pass: Drugs inner voices, he gives the {lu- sion that a whole band is play- ing. It's a swinging band, too. Once in a while, Pass inter- rupts his program of stand- ards, which he reharmonizes and rethinks in a variety of moods and tempos, and talks to the audience. \Someone asked me what I think of when I play,\ he says. \I said I didn't know. They asked if I think anything - mystical.\ He rolls his eyes like a loony swarni and flutters his hands in the air in front of the guitar, \I'm being mystical,\ he ex- plains. And then, with a straight face, he improvises an extravagant fantasia on \Mis- ty.\ DECEMBER 1 H See master drummer g Tuesday Nov. 27 | 8 pm § Powerhouse with Sheer Swinging Vitality!

At 50, he is quite possibly the greatest living jazz guita- rist. He is also, surprisingly “Slough, a relative newcomer extensive touring and inter- national acclaim. When he was in his 20s and 30s, a time when most jazz musicians establish their reputations and refine their art, Pass was, in his own words \a complete goof.\ He traveled, but his destinations were determined more by the availability of hard drugs than by musical considerations. ''Staying high was first priori- ty,\ he says \plaing was- second, girls were third. But the first thing really took all my energy.\ Born Joseph Anthony Jacobi Passallaqua in New Brun- swick, N.J., he grew up in Johnstown, Pa. At 13 he-was soloing with a local group that rendered homage to Django Reinhardt's quintet. |___ At 14 he went on the road with a big band led by Tony Pasor, who gave him a featured spot. \My father was very strict, but he got sick,\ Pass explains, \and he could no longer exercise any restraint. That was my chance to get out. I came to New York and I was here in 1944 and '45 hanging around. I played some gigs, heard Bird and Art Tatum. Then I got involved in drugs.\ THE NEXT 15 years could have been lifted from a Jack Kerouac novel. Pas spent a year in New Orleans, where he stayed in a crash pad with se- veral other musicians and au- thor William Boroughs. Work- ing with obscure trios in an endless string of nightclubs, he hit Las Vegas, Chicago, Pe- oria, Forth Worth -- and kept moving. \In New Orleans, I had kind of a nervous break- down, because I had access to every kind of drug there and was up for days. I would al- ways hock my guitar. I would come to New York a lot, then get strung out and leave.\ In 190, Pass arrived in Los Angeles and, through sheer coincidence, found himself on the doorstep of Synanon, where a former roommate, pianist Arnold Ross, convinced him to move in and get off junk. It worked. After four years of Sy- nanon, Pass emerged \really conscious of the fact that I was a musiclan. I started taking it more seriously.\ He recorded for the World Pacific label with various West Coast jazzmen, \did studio work, got married, had two kids, changed my whole lifestyle completely. Then Oscar Peterson took me to Norman Granz and the rest is . . .\ Pass doesn't want to say \history but it is. Since 1973, Granz has booked Pass and re- corded him for the Pablo-label. The guitarist has worked with other Pablo artists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan and the late Duke Ellington and made a stunning series of albums as a soloist and a group leader. And these days, when he plays a concert or a record date, he doesn't take or drink anything, \'not even,\ he says, finishing his coffee, \wine with dinner.\ Copyright 1979 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Q: Jon Voight plays such heavy roles in movies which often call for bts of tears, such as in \Coming Home\ and ''The Champ.\ Doesn't he ever get tired of playing such «de ? pressing parts f E.V., Erie, Pa. A: While Jon loves meaty dramatic parts - the kind that get Oscar attention - he would like a change of pace from his recent work. That's why he's mulling a comedy for his next movie, one which he partially wrote. Jon is seeking Burt Young, the familiar face in \Rocky to costar in \'Looking to Get Out.\ It may be Jon's way of getting out of his string of heavy parts and into lighter, more frothy materi- al. In case you forgot, Jon's first major film was that moody *'Midnight Cowboy.\ - * ¥ ow @: I love Isabel Sanford, the actress who plays \Weezy\ Louise on \The Jefferson's TV show. Does she have a family of her own? L.H., Brooklyn A: Isabel does indeed. Largely on her own she raised three children - two sons and a daughter - who've since graced her with grandchildren. Isabel makes no bones about the fact that raising kids in obscurity and financial straits was no picnic. She had to work as many as four jobs at once to make ends meet after her husband died in 1961. But with ''The Jefferson's\ an established hit, life for Isabel is a lot easier now. * # ow @: Is Henry Fonda ever going to team up with his two ~ children in the same movie? W.N., Clifton, N.J. A: We've heard much about Henry's idea to team up with Jane and Peter but, unfortunately, it hasn't panned out. Jane loves the suggestion and is still pushing for a suitable project. But scheduling is a big problem since Henry has at least four projects in the hopper and Jane has at least two. A complicating factor is that the Fondas hope to get a Revolu- tionary War saga off the ground. That American experience, however, doesn't set fires in Hollywood front offices. But 7 Henry and Jane have tremendopus clout - so here's hoping. Koo wore JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: Guess who was standing in line at the copy machine at Doubleday the other day? It was ~Jackie Onnasis who was waiting her turn just like all the other editors at the New York publising house. Jackie was making copies of a manuscript she was taking home for reading that night.
