Pat Martino: Think Tank

Read "Think Tank" reviewed by Joel Roberts


It's been nearly twenty years since Pat Martino's comeback from a near-fatal brain aneurysm. In that time he's re-established himself as one of the jazz world's premier guitarists, a technically advanced post bop player who combines forward-thinking musical ideas with native Philly grit; think Pat Metheny with more soul. Think Tank , as ...

Ridl & Martino: Duets at Tin Angel

Read "Ridl & Martino: Duets at Tin Angel" reviewed by Victor L. Schermer


On Saturday evening, December 13, 2003, Philadelphia was blessed to have two international jazz greats perform at a small, local venue, The Tin Angel . Of course, Pat Martino is a Philadelphian, and Jim Ridl lives near Princeton, so in that sense they are “local,” but the set that I attended was a world-class event, a ...

Pat Martino: Think Tank

Read "Think Tank" reviewed by Clifford Allen


It is difficult to make mainstream jazz (hard bop, etc.) relevant in light of the subversion or destruction of its form that occurred over thirty years ago. But, as many improvisers proved, it was possible to make consistently engaging and advanced music in the hard bop idiom well after the innovations of Ornette and Cecil took ...
