By the way i am flabbergasted by PAT MARTINO music...
I listened few more albums they are ALL of interest and the music is creative surprizing...
It is not only my favorite guitar player now but one of my best jazz artist forever...
His playing is obsessionately hypnotical, motivated like in a trance....His mastering creativity for a composer dominate all the musicians around him... The music is his children even when he does not play...
I cannot stop listening him... I dont remember a so strong experience before, save for Chet Baker and Bill Evans and very few others....
His music is more intense than just beautiful like Scriabin music , and the reason are the same and related to this fact : these 2 musicians are "possessed" by a music creativity "daemon" ....In the 2 cases Scriabin and Martino so different they are, melodical power are under the domination of some powerful colored reoccuring chords flows...And these chords in the 2 cases swallowed me up and down like Jonas swallowed by the whale and dancing in his belly....
Read this description of his inspired innovative playing in wiki :

Martino stated, "There are elements within an instrument’s architecture that initiate a continuous source of valuable information. For the guitar, there are two. The first is the major third interval, and the second is the minor third interval. Once we view their repetitive information, they begin to appear as a series of automatic functions."[8]
Martino’s lines contain chromatic links outside any particular IIm7 chord that might be conceptualized over a chord progression, even in the examples he provides in his books and instructional videos. On his bulletin board he has stated that he formulated the system more as a way to explain his playing rather than as something to use to create music. In his own words, "although the analysis of some of my recorded solos have been referred to as modal, personally I’ve never operated in that way. I’ve always depended upon my own melodic instinct, instead of scale like formulas."[9] »
