Sound Project


Sound Project is an album by jazz guitarist Joe Pass and accordionist Tommy Gumina that was released in 1987.

Background

Pass and Gumina met in the 1960s when Gumina built Pass a small, portable amp. Although Gumina started his career as a musician, he entered the electronics business and made instruments. He recorded Sound Project with one of his inventions, a polycorus, which is similar to an accordion. He and Pass started the record label Polytone Records after Pablo Records, Pass's label, was sold.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Ken Dryden wrote of the album "While it may not be a top priority to acquire, it's worth buying, if you can find it."
