8th April 2009 Pat Martino Masterclass in association with the ICMP

Darren Ashford — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 11:59:22 +0000

After being involved in the early rock scene in Philadelphia, alongside stars like Bobby Rydell, Chubby Checker and Bobby Darin, Pat Martino made his mark bringing jazz into psychedelia. With a distinctive, fat sound and gut-wrenching performances, he represents the best not just in jazz, but in music, embodying thoughtful energy and soul.

I will be playing at this fantastic advent featuring one of the all time greats of jazz guitar.
