About
There are a mere handful of guitarists that have changed the way we think about the guitar over the past five or six decades, Pat Martino is perhaps one of the greatest and best-known of those icons. The term "genius" is overused today, but Pat Martino was definitely one. His life story was the very definition of the word. Before Martino's passing in November, 2021, the Alternative Guitar Summit honoured him and his enormous contribution to jazz in this set of studio recordings by 14 jazz guitarists playing selections from his imaginative and varied catalogue of compositions. Producer Joel Harrison is thrilled to have brought together this crew of great musicians to show their love for him while HighNote Records is proud to present this first volume of their recordings.

Adam Rogers, Peter Bernstein, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Fareed Haque, Sheryl Bailey, Ed Cherry, Rez Abbasi, Jeff Miles, Russell Malone, Dave Stryker & Paul Bollenback, Nir Felder, Oz Noy, Joel Harrison (guitar)

July 2022
What makes Martino’s music memorable — and what these performers recognize — is that he wrote extraordinarily strong tunes that blossom in almost any arrangement.
