Passion Guitars is a studio album by Bucky Pizzarelli and John Pizzarelli containing swing and Latin jazz standards. The album was later released as Passionate Guitars by LRC Records in an attempt to shed this version's poor marketing, which confused potential buyers into thinking this was somehow a smooth jazz album.
