Pat Martino – Remember – A Tribute to Wes Montgomery – Blue Note ST-11226 *****:

(Pat Martino, guitar; David Kikoski, piano; John Patitucci, bass; Scott Allan Robinson, drums; Daniel Saddwnick, percussion)

This is the latest from Pat Martino, and should be a must-buy for any who viewed or purchased the recent amazing documentary “Unstrung,” on the guitarist who lost his entire memory due to a brain tumor and had to learn everything back again. (Reviewed Here.) 

Pat has resurrected the wonderful and original guitar stylings of the late Wes Montgomery, but of course they are a bit more electric and hard-edged than the originals.  The virtuoso guitarist is generally agreed on by critics as sounding even better today than prior to his medical condition and recovery.

TrackList:
Four on Six, Groove Yard, Full House, Heartstrings, Twisted Blues, Road Song, West Coast Blues, S.K.J., If I Should Lose You, Unit 7
