PAINT IT BLACK by The Rolling Stones is (I suspect) one of the most covered songs from their catalog of great music. It first showed up on their album AFTERMATH and it is a personal favorite of mine.
This version by Joe Pass from his recording THE STONES JAZZ is no exception when it comes to great cover versions. However, at the time this album was released (1966) it was savagely reviewed and ridiculed for being yet another jazz music great jumping on the pop music bandwagon. In fact as recent as 2015 a reviewer for the ALL MUSIC GUIDE said it is the most unlikely candidate to be released on CD.
In retrospect - I think early criticisms are unjust and this album deserves a second chance. The grooves are interesting and worth a shilling or two to download. Enjoy
And now the Stones version from 1966 from a television broadcast.
