We are saddened to hear of the passing of jazz guitar legend Pat Martino.

Pat was part of our RealTracks Artist "Jazz Pollwinners 2" series in 2014. You can learn about Pat and listen to his RealTracks contribution here.

Pat had been playing guitar since he was just 12 years old, and devoted himself to music in grade ten. On top of years of performing (he began playing professionally in 1961), Pat received many awards for his playing, including the "Jazz Legacy" Award in 2016 presented by Pennsylvania State Senator Vincent Hughes and his wife Sheryl Lee Ralph-Hughes.

So sad.
Sad...
Very talented guitarist.

This unfortunate event reminded me in a big way why I I admire and value BIAB as much as I do. While Pat is gone, he can still join the "band" any time and play for/with us. Without a doubt, his creative input will have continuation and take new forms thanks to PG music.

P.S. Dan, Thank you for YT link.
