Thank you for this fine piece about Pat. I was the pianist on “Pat Martino Live!” He was a road warrior like Miles, his band was his family. I had a unique relationship with him because of my classical/new music background in composition. We mentored each other! And always in touch, the mutual respect and affection grew and grew.

And wow I can't believe how hard it is to find Live! now. Sigh, what an incredible record.
Thank you and I believe it -- he mentored everyone around him!
Pat Martino Live was reissued digitally also as “Head and Heart”
What a wonderful remembrance of this great musician!
Thank you. I was lucky to hear him many times and each one was hair-raising.
