Pat reminisces about Joel Dorn and Philadelphia's importance. A George Manney film. Pat Martino (born Pat Azzara, August 25, 1944) in South Philadelphia is a world-renowned Italian-American jazz guitarist and composer. He began playing the guitar at a young age, and began playing professionally at age 15. Pat played and recorded early in his career with musicians such as Willis Jackson and Eric Kloss. He also worked with many jazz organists, such as Jack McDuff, Trudy Pitts, Jimmy Smith, Don Patterson, and Richard Groove Holmes. Throughout the 60's and 70's, Pat made many recordings as a sideman and also under his own name. In 1980, Martino underwent surgery as the result of a nearly fatal brain aneurysm. The surgery left him with amnesia, leaving him, among other things, without any memory of the guitar and his musical career. With the help of friends, computers, and his old recordings, Pat made a remarkable recovery, and learned to play the guitar again. His improvisation method, "Conversion to Minor", is based upon using exclusively minor scales for soloing. Martino's return to music started once again with the 1987 recording The Return. In 2006 Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab reissued Pat's jazz masterpiece East! on Ultradisc UHR SACD. Martino currently tours worldwide. A George Manney film.

Pat's Remember , has the guitar too buried in the mix. No pop, and it just doesn't separate from the rest of the players. Tom Waits took his style to the max on Real Gone, with overloading the mic, and on repeated playing, it doesn't work. One can go too far with their own sonics, because they hear what they are doing, cause they are playing it. It doesn't always translate onto media. El Hombre has much more accessible tone. A good pesto has a little moisture content to deliver the flavor....

I had the great privilege to study privately with Pat in 1977 a few years before he had the aneurism and had to stop playing. What an amazing concept he has...and a very nice guy. Today he sounds better than ever!

I had the privilege of meeting Pat in Holland in '95. Not only a profound musician but an extremely kind individual. The best.
