	Pat Martino: Remember: A Tribute to Wes Montgomery
		The beauty of a Pat Martino album that is a tribute to Wes Montgomery is that it is a perfect concept that one already knows ahead of time will be perfectly executed.
		Yet, because Martino is a stylist and incredibly accomplished musician who can execute his musical ideas flawlessly thanks to his total command of the guitar, he never comes across as merely imitating another musician’s style.
		Martino suffered a brain aneurysm in 1980 and had to completely relearn the guitar, but you would never know if from listening to this set.

		Martino apart from a lot of Jazz guitarists is that he is more interested in "music" than guitar.
		Martino is more reserved than usual on this disc and it shows a side to his creative nature that's more contemplative than previously shown.
		Pat Martino's unbelievably beautiful album, "The Maker", transcends the typical jazz guitar outing where many of todays artists are out to prove they are "the fastest guns in the west" by playing well practiced licks on tunes that the great Wes Montgomery wrote over thirty years ago.

		Martino had suffered a severe brain aneurysm and underwent surgery after being told that his condition could be terminal.
		Born Pat Azzara in Philadelphia in 1944, he was first exposed to jazz through his father, Carmen “Mickey” Azzara, who sang in local clubs and briefly studied guitar with Eddie Lang.
		Martino, at fifty, is back and he is plotting new musical directions, adding more layers to his myth.” His experiments with guitar synthesizers, begun during his rehabilitation, are taking him in the direction of orchestral arrangements and they promise groundbreaking possibilities.

		With Live at Yoshi's, the 56-year-old Pat Martino, one of the great jazz-guitar stylists of the modern period, returns to the staggering form he showed on albums such as the 1974 Consciousness.
		Martino lacks no subtlety--his command of melodic variation, his avoidance of cliché, is evidence of that--but this is unapologetically virtuosic music.
		When Pat Martino continually holds certain ideas, augmenting and diminishing the structure ever so slightly, that's his way of holding you there while Joey Defrancesco and Billy Heart move you until it resolves.

		Pat Martino excited the jazz community with his exciting reentry into the scene in 1987 with his live recording, The Return.
		Martino was so impressed and inspired that he invited the pianist to form a musical partnership.
		The results of the pairing are immediately obvious, as Ridl's relaxed and sensitive style subtly encourages Martino to take his time and use more space, probably the only legitimate criticism that was ever heaped in Martino's direction.

		Alongside Martino were Byron Landham on drums and, as Martino puts it, “the one and only” Joey DeFrancesco on organ.
		He was quite different from Martino in that he carried Martino’s musical statements to the extremes.

	CD Review of Pat Martino - Think Tank on Blue Note @ jazzreview.com
		Pat Martino continues to investigate new forms, never staying constant in his search for discovering alternative possibilities for the guitar.
		Martino’s composition, “Dozen Down,” arises from equally unconventional compositional sources, based as it is on the incremental lowering of its tonal center through twelve descending steps in fifths.
		A perfect foil for Martino, Lovano goes outside the lines on his work, as intended, carrying the tracks to higher levels than they normally would have attained with his characteristic insight into harmonic gold to be mined.

		This is a rare pleasure for me to do a piece on Pat Martino because in the early 70's when I was a young guitarist in Canada, I owned 2 jazz guitar albums that I listened to over and over again.
		Pat seems to have a deep spiritual perspective on all things in life and his approach to the guitar is no exception.
		When I caught the Pat Martino show here in LA with Joey last week, the air was electric with their combined musical energy.

		Pat Martino absolutely "knocks em dead" with his breathtakingly emotional, from the heart and soul, choruses on the tracks within.
		However, I like the remake with Joey better as they have completely revamped the song changing the key from the original B flat to C minor and changing the time signature on the head is catchy as well, not to mention the altered "rhythm changes" in the "B" section.
		Pat shows that he is in a league of his own with his ability to look far far far down the road when it comes to improvising his crowd pleasing solos.

		He surprised more than a few by demonstrating such impressive taste and technique, almost as if he had never lost the ability to play the guitar due to a severe brain...
		Perhaps almost as surprising was his disappearance once again from the public eye (due to his parents' illnesses), until he reemerged with this recording in 1994.
		While the temperature is not nearly as hot as his earlier work, the overall results prove to be more seasoned and mature sounding than anything he has ever recorded before.

		That the disc is one of those lucky live albums that captures a night when everything seemed to be falling into place for Martino and his trio of organist Joey DeFrancesco and drummer Billy Hart is perhaps more than even the guitarist's most ardent admirers could have hoped for.
		Personally, I think Wes Montgomery and Pat Martino are both fabulous.
		The same goes for Martino's playing on ballads - it just doesn't seem quite right to me. Sometimes I find myself wishing he would slow down, leave some space, and give every note a chance to speak.

		That Pat Martino's new Live at Yoshi's is a stunning display of jazz-guitar prowess should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the six-string legend.
		DeFrancesco and Hart are both predictably awe-inspiring, but it's the telepathic chemistry between the three band members and the understandably thrilled audience that really blasts Live at Yoshi's into a higher realm of live jazz albums.
		Martino has one of the more inspirational personal stories in music.

		Since beginning his professional career as a teenager in the '60s, Martino has gone on to collaborate with jazz figures such as Sonny Stitt and Jimmy Smith, in addition to leading his own influential groups.
		At a recent clinic at the Berklee Performance Center, Martino discussed his longevity in the music industry, which has been remarkable considering the fact that he had to essentially relearn the guitar after losing his memory following brain surgery in 1980.
		Martino went on to stress that longevity is not the same as stagnation.

		This newly reissued 1976 collaboration between guitarist Pat Martino and pianist Gil Goldstein (here he's an electric pianist) is something of a cult classic as well as an anomaly among Martino's recordings from the period.
		Always a graceful player, he would typically dart over crisp, compelling rhythm sections; in this duo setting, however, the flame is low and the ruminations have a more spacious quality.
		This is quiet gem from one of jazz's great underrated guitarists.
