Any other Pat Martino fans out there?

FWIW, I never could get into Martino. Back in the seventies when I paid some attention to him he seemed a technician and pretty proud of it. But I must admit he did provoke a reaction. Like Edesilva says, lots of chops but no connection.

I just "discovered" him recently. I picked up "Think Tank" from my BMG club. Pretty damn good straight ahead jazz. I'm a fan of this recording.

You guys realize he recently passed away huh?

My bad I was thinking of Tony Mottola.
