Jazz Expresso ( 12-11-21 ) 753 Pat Martino

 El passat 1 de Novembre moria a Filadèlfia el guitarrista Pat Martino. Havia nascut el 1944, també a Filadèlfia. Amb 15 anys ja tocava profesionalment a Nova York. Aviat va treballar en grups, com els liderats per Willis "Gator" Jackson, Red Holloway i per diversos organistes com Don Patterson, Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Richard "Groove" Holmes i Jimmy McGriff. Després de tocar amb John Handy (1966), va començar a liderar els seus propis grups interessant-se pel jazz d'avantguarda, el rock, el pop i també pel que ara denominem músiques del món, adaptant tot plegat al seu estil hard bop.
El 1980 el van haver d’operar per corregir un aneurisma cerebral . El resultat va ser que va perdre la memòria i fins i tot la capacitat de tocar. De manera que va haver de tornar a aprendre a tocar la guitarra . I ho va fer escoltant els seus propis discos, això a partir de 1984, i no va poder tornar a actuar fins el 1987, amb el disc The Return. Tot i que va haver de reduir la seva activitat professional, Martino va aconseguir recuperar la forma.
El 1995 es va casar amb la japonesa Ayako Asahi. Des de 2018 havia deixat de actuar en públic, degut a una malaltia respiratòria. Com deia al començament, va morir el passat 1 de novembre, als 77 anys.

Avui escoltarem al Jazz Expresso una petita mostra de la música del gran Pat Martino.
