- 11 years ago
http://www.miamijazzguitar.com/signature-series.html
ABOUT THE JAZZ GUITARISTS SIGNATURE SERIES: Each lesson explores the improvisational style of an influential artist within the history of jazz guitar. This is done with a short transcribed phrase, most likely performed over a repeating harmonic cadence (eg. II-V-I).
ABOUT PAT MARTINO: Born Pat Azzara in South Philly, Martino started playing professionally in 1961 at age 15. Throughout his early career he worked as a sideman with saxophonists Willis Jackson and Eric Kloss, along with different organists including Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith, Don Patterson and Richard "Grooves" Holmes. Martino made his recording debut as leader in 1967 with the album "El Hombre" on Prestige Records.
In 1980 Martino suffered an almost deadly brain aneurysm which led to the loss of his memory and playing abilities. With the help and support of friends and family in combination with his old recordings, he had the ability to restore his intellectual capabilities and eventually made a complete recuperation. He resumed his recording career in 1987 with the recording, "The Return" and has actually kept a busy performing schedule ever since.
