''Ira, George and Joe'' is an album by jazz guitarist Joe Pass that was released in 1982. It was re-issued in 1994 on CD by Original Jazz Classics. It is a tribute album to the songs of George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin. The photo on the front cover was created by Phil Stern. There is also another version of this cover from 1982 that contains the text "Joe Pass Loves Gershwin" instead of just "Joe Pass".

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "The melodies are quite familiar ("Bidin' My Time" is the closest one to an obscurity), and few surprises occur, but the music swings and the results are quite enjoyable."
