Biography
Pat Martino (born August 25, 1944) is an Italian-American jazz guitarist and composer within the post bop, fusion, mainstream jazz, soul jazz and hard bop idioms. Biography: Martino was born Pat Azzara in South Philadelphia. He began playing professionally at age 15 after moving to New York City. Martino 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 Charles Earland, Jack McDuff, Trudy Pitts, Jimmy Smith, Gene Ludwig, Don Patterson, Richard "Groove" Holmes. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Martino 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 some memory of the guitar and his musical career. With the help of friends, computers, and his old recordings, Martino made a recovery, and learned to play the guitar again....

If any musician epitomises what it is to lose it all and come back it is Pat Martino. A brain aneurysm totally destroyed his ability to play, yet enough muscle memory remained in his hands to allow the physical to be overcome much more easily than the the theory.He had to learn it all again, and how.
An inspiration to Jazz musicians and certainly would be picked in the top 10 Jazz guitarists of all time,most of todays young icons idolise Pat Martino.His 1970's explorations stand the test of time, his most recent recordings are contemporary and musically relevant. Bravo Pat.
