Pat Martino Organ Quartet
Pat Martino (guitar)
Eric Alexander (tenor sax)
Pat Bianchi (organ)
Carmen Intorre (drums)
One of the greatest guitarists in jazz, Martino got his start on the "chitlin' circuit" in the 1960s with organ groups led by "Groove" Holmes, Jack McDuff, Don Patterson, Trudy Pitts, Charles Earland and others. Having made a full and remarkable recovery from a life-threatening illness in the 1980's that caused him to forget how to play the guitar, Martino relearned by listening to his own early recordings and has re-emerged as a veteran presence on the jazz scene due in part to a successful association with Blue Note Records. Today, Martino lives in his native Philadelphia and continues to grow as a musician. As the New York Times noted, "Mr. Martino is back and he is plotting new musical directions, adding more layers to his myth." His playing is as fiery and technically brilliant as ever and he constantly challenges himself with new music and exciting bandmates.
