Checkmate is a live album by American jazz guitarist Joe Pass and pianist Jimmy Rowles, released in 1981 (see 1981 in music). It was re-issued in 1998 on CD by Original Jazz Classics.
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "Rowles sets the quiet mood, and Pass keeps his amplifier quite low and was content to play on the pianist's turf. The emphasis is on slower tempos and harmonically sophisticated chords... Superior background music that rewards close listening."
