Pat Martino Returns To UK, Jan 2004

[sidewinder]

Good news for any UK-based fans of guitarist Pat Martino. He will be bringing his group to Ronnie Scott's over the period Jan 5th-10th 2004 and if his previous (and to date only UK) appearance at the Pizza Express during 2001 is anything to go by, this should be unmissable.

Some other excellent UK stuff also coming up in 2004, notably a Wayne Shorter 'Footprints' residency at the Barbican. Details (extracted from this month's 'Jazzwise') are:

Mon 26th Jan - Wayne Shorter Quartet

Tues 27th Jan - Wayne Shorter & Jason Rebello/Tomorrow's Warriors

Wed 28th Jan - Guest Soloist TBC (the man himself, perhaps )/Shorter Stories

Thurs 29th Jan - Wayne Shorter Quartet With BBC Concert Orchestra ( )

After a fairly dull December jazzwise, January is looking good !
