Hardbopjazz Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Pat hasn’t been able to play since 2018 due to health issues. Go Fund me page. It doesn’t look good for another legend. https://www.gofundme.com/f/pat-martino-fund?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet Edited November 1, 2021 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'm seeing some references to Pat Martino today that suggest that be may have sadly passed away. Very sad. I always enjoyed his playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 RIP. I was not a fan but really like his playing on Don Patterson's albums, he was the best of all guitarists that recorded with Patterson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Very sad news. Great player, fortunate enough to see him at least 3-4 times and he kindly signed some of his albums for me in exquisite script. The last time I saw him was at NorthSea I think with his trio but also around that time I attended a viewing of his biographical film focussing on the illness, where he was present in person to answer questions. That was a medically sponsored event by the Welcome Foundation. Fond memories of seeing him in prime at Ronnie Scott’s. RIP - sorry that he is no longer with us but thankful that he had that illustrious second career.

BillF Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yes, sad news. Saw him once - about 6 years ago at Band on the Wall, Manchester in a great trio with Pat Bianchi and Carmen Intorre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milestones Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 To say the least, he had an interesting life and career. And the man really had some chops. I've heard plenty of good stuff, and would like to hear more--especially from the early years. In the later career, for me nothing tops Live at Yoshi's. R.I.P.

tranemonk Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 This one sucks to me... I was lucky enough to see him a few times (maybe twice?)... Love all his records... His comeback was incredible... I hate this stuff... Thank you Pat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
