Strings!
Pat Martino
In the 1960s Pat Martino was one of the bright, up-and-coming stars of the guitar. His series of recordings for Prestige helped establish him with a wider listening audience, including many of his peers. The first in this series was Strings!, a deft matchup with versatile reedman/flutist Joe Farrell and the resourceful pianist Cedar Walton. Four of the five originals are by Martino, while the other, "Minority," is from the pen of Gigi Gryce.
with Joe Farrell, Cedar Walton, Ben Tucker, Walter Perkins, Dave Levin, Ray Appleton
