Editing Joe Pass (section)

===Influences===
Throughout the 1940s, Pass became interested in modern jazz sounds that were emerging from [[New York City]], where he would jam with many quintessential bebop musicians. Pass cited [[Dizzy Gillespie]], [[Charlie Parker]], [[Art Tatum]] and [[Coleman Hawkins]] as influences during this time. Pass was later influenced by the piano stylings of [[Oscar Peterson]]. Ironically, only three of the various jazz musicians he had cited as influences on his playing were actually guitarists; he cited [[Charlie Christian]], [[Django Reinhardt]] and [[Wes Montgomery]] as instrumental in his development as a musician.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Marshall |first1=Wolf |title=The Great Jazz Guitarists |date=2012 |publisher=Hal-Leonard |page=95 }}</ref>
