this is a full set from one of just a handful of 1977 Pat Martino Group shows to include Kenwood Dennard on drums and is from I think one of Martino's most vibrant periods of music. This tour was much too short.
I want to hear any other shows with this group that are at least decent quality. I'm not a real big fan of Pat Martino music but I would be if I heard him play more of this kind of music. Pat really shows he is a brilliant guitarist with imaginative proficient chops and a style all his own. This doesn't sound like anybody else.
This is from the peak of his fusey/jazz period.
It's a rarity.
There are two flip cuts, spliced together in the middle of songs, but only a few seconds missing. My copy was recorded with a nearly brand new (at the time) Teac reel deck, state of the art quality for the time, probably from the Sony or JVC deck it was recorded on. I think this is the whole show, and not only torrented for the 1st time here, this torrent has had the full ICPVR (individual clap peak volume reduction) treatment between songs and there is very little clapping during the music (appreciative and polite audience). If you are among the one or two who recieved this in a tape trade many years ago, or CD trade more recently, you haven't heard it sounding this good before. I've remastered the reel copy and it sounds pretty decent now.
