Concert: Pat Martino Trio, 2014

In 2014, the Pat Martino Trio performed at the Lotos Jazz Festival in Poland. Martino's playing—backed by Pat Bianchi on organ and Carmen Intorre on drums—is spectacular. So good, in fact, that you can just let the concert play in the background while you work. Or even better, watch it. The tracks are Catch, Full House, Inside Out, Lean Years, Blue In Green, All Blues, Mac Tough and Sunny.

The ever-lovely and marvelous jazz vocalist Tessa Souter sent the link along with a note: “Carmen played with Pat for the last eight years, and for the last five years he was also the trio's road manager. He was touring a lot. Carmen was Billy Drummond's student at Juilliard and B's nickname for him was Count Gigula because Carmen was away working so much."

Here's the hour-and-10-minute performance...
