It’s hard not to love this guy. Guitar as a joyous toy.

He’s brilliant - clear, articulate, and clearly a Seeker. He survived a horrific challenge with flying colors—humanity should be listening intently to people like this, instead of bloviating, ego-deranged conspiracy nuts and others with utterly selfish intentions. Thank you PAT MARTINO for great music, great thoughts, and open honesty—this is a GREAT interview.

Ever notice how the finest musicians are almost always articulate, non-egocentric, calm and just generally someone that you enjoy talking with?

Rest In Peace, Pat Martino

"In my opinion there's nothing more serious than enjoyment itself." What a wonderful and inspiring statement!!! Thank you, dear Pat Martino and Rest In Peace, enjoy heaven!

I appreciate Pat for really solidly trying to hand down his knowledge to the next generation. He is a ideal human being.

Such a unique perspective on everything; he was like a guru who glimpsed enlightenment for a moment and tried to help others see the way up the mountain. No one else will ever really come close to what we had in Pat, both as a musician and an abstract thinker.

Life is not about being perfect, but a path of exploring , playing and enjoyment.
Good journey Pat 🔥

I first heard of Pat Martino in 1978. When I asked my guitar teacher who was the best guitar player in the world he gave me 3 names. Pat was one of those names.....

Pat looks like his dad! I remember meeting him for the first time at his home in philly and taking lessons with him--I was a dumbstruck kid. His voice was much lower, then. So many years have passed--Pat was such a huge influence on me. When i first heard Joyous Lake I nearly fell off my chair--creative, tight, interesting, real! I wish I saw you before you left, Pat. Love you, man. RIP

One of my biggest inspirations as a jazz guitarist.

This was shot beautifully. I love the simple background, the close-ups with the blur, the lighting...etc...should be a standard for such interviews!

I remember listening to Mr. Martino in high school and being awe struck. That was 45 years ago. What a
guitar legend.

What wonderful parents Pat had. All the nurturing was there that made him what he became.

I love his voice; so soothing and articulate.

Every musician and educator would do well to embody the teachings of Master Pat Martino. Brilliant.

Pat Martino….A true Jazz hero!!..I’ve been fortunate enough to see him perform since the late sixties with Gene Ludwig at the Hurricane in Pgh to his last trio with Pat Bianchi!…I spent a lot of beautiful moments with The Great Pat Martino!!
