Pat Martino quote

[Jim Cohen]

"The guitar is of no great importance to me. The people it brings to me are what matter. They are what I'm extremely grateful for, because they are alive. The guitar is just an apparatus."

[Howard Kalish]

That's a great quote Jim. Good to see that a guy who can work the apparatus as well as Pat Martino still understands why he makes music in the first place. It makes people happy.

[Jerry Overstreet]

Pat Martino's story is an amazing one....having had to relearn the guitar after a serious illness.

Some of his music in recent years is nearly beyond my limited capacity to comprehend, but a tremendous talent and admired by many.
