Unforgettable is an album by American jazz guitarist Joe Pass, released posthumously in 1998.

All tracks on this album are performed on a nylon string classical guitar, and are from the same 1992 session that produced Songs for Ellen.

Reception

Jim Ferguson (JazzTimes) said of Unforgettable: "Musicians will marvel at Pass' innovative solo voice, facility, and encyclopedic array of harmonic devices, while casual listeners will be soothed by the session's gentle mood. Overall, a vivid look at one facet of the greatest jazz guitarist since Wes Montgomery."[4]
