Summer Nights (album)

Summer Nights is an album by jazz guitarist Joe Pass, released in 1989.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "Although Joe Pass' main influence was Charlie Christian and he really does not sound like Reinhardt, he manages to evoke the spirit of Django while swinging in his own fashion. It is particularly nice hearing such tunes as "Belleville," the haunting "Tears" and "For Django" in newer versions."

Reception

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock said that the song was "light hearted" and "feel-good" and would appeal to Rascal Flatts' fans, but said that he did not think that it would be well received by those who dislike the band's mainstream sound. Mandi Byerly of Entertainment Weekly said that the song sounded like it came from the High School Musical soundtrack.
