Pat Martino: El Hombre

Read "El Hombre" reviewed by Jim Santella


Recorded May 1, 1967, this session was Pat Martino's first album as leader. His guitar moves valiantly with all the swagger of a cowboy; smoking guns and flying fingers dot the landscape of his trail. The allusion, of course, is to Paul Newman's Western film Hombre that came out the same year. Both ...

Robin Eubanks & EB3: Live Vol. 1

Read "Live Vol. 1" reviewed by John Kelman


While ongoing developments in the area of technology have made it possible for artists to create a big band sound on a small band budget, you'd be hard pressed to find a group integrating it as seamlessly and interactively as trombonist Robin Eubanks' EB3 on Live Vol. 1. Thankfully Eubanks, rather than leaving listeners scratching their ...

Pat Martino: El Hombre

Read "El Hombre" reviewed by Martin Gladu


What a journey this hombre has had. The man in question, Italian-American guitarist Pat Martino, as it has been often reported, fought through a series of severe predicaments throughout his career. After undergoing diverse medical treatments, he resiliently baby-stepped his way back in the music business. He has since catered to his creative force and connected ...

Pat Martino: Remember: A Tribute to Wes Montgomery

Read "Remember: A Tribute to Wes Montgomery" reviewed by John Barron


The last thing jazz needs is more tribute projects that merely perpetuate the ever-increasing stagnation of an industry trying to make a fast buck off the legacy of fallen giants. At first glance it would appear that this is exactly what Remember is all about. But fortunately, the artist paying tribute here is Philadelphian Pat Martino, ...

Pat Martino: Remember: A Tribute To Wes Montgomery

Read "Remember: A Tribute To Wes Montgomery" reviewed by Russ Musto


The tribute album allows an artist to document his indebtedness to another's influence on his own style with a more fully formed personal approach and individual voice. It shines a spotlight on the honoree's body of work in a way that no single record in that artist's discography did during his lifetime. And it introduces a ...

Pat Martino: Remember: A Tribute to Wes Montgomery

Read "Remember: A Tribute to Wes Montgomery" reviewed by Nic Jones


Make no mistake--this is a tribute not only to Wes Montgomery, but also the resilience of human creativity. While this might smack of hyperbole, it should be remembered that Martino completely forgot how to play the guitar some 26 years ago as a result of brain surgery, and if diligence and application can supply the kind ...
