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.[1]
