Death of virtuoso guitarist, 77
RIPThe American jazz guitarist Pat Martino, who overcame a brain seizure and memory loss in his 30s to relearn the instrument from scratch, has died at 77.
His virtuosity and resilience were admired across all genres.
Oh, that’s too bad. I have several discs of his and really enjoy them. To me, he’s a bit in the mold of Wes Montgomery and Grant Green. But I don’t really know enough about guitar to be that expert. I enjoy what I do have.
