Here and Now. The Autobiography of Pat Martino. Book. Hardcover. 224 pages. Published by Backbeat Books. HL.333240. ISBN 1617130273. 6x9 inches. By age 16, Pat Martino was already working as a member of R&B star Lloyd Price's touring musical revue. By age 18, Martino moved to Harlem, where he quickly earned a reputation as a hard-bopping six-stringer with formidable chops through a series of apprenticeships with the likes of honking tenor saxophonist Willis “Gaitor Tail” Jackson and Hammond B-3 organ master Jack McDuff. Martino made his auspicious debut as a leader at age 22 with 1967's El Hombre on Prestige and followed with a string of potent recordings for the label that further established him as one of the most distinctive guitar voices on the jazz scene. Then, at the peak of his powers, the bottom fell out. In 1980, he underwent surgery as the result of a nearly fatal brain aneurysm. The surgery left him without any memory of the guitar or his musical career. From that point, Martino undertook the long process of recovery, eventually learning how to play the guitar again. but more important, learning to transcend the instrument itself and live his life completely in the moment. More than just the remarkable story of one of the most original and profoundly influential guitarists in jazz history, this extraordinarily revealing autobiography is also a survival manual, of sorts, in overcoming incredible adversity and learning to live in the here and now.

Deur die ouderdom van 16, Pat Martino is reeds besig om as 'n lid van R. Deur die ouderdom van 18, Martino verskuif na Harlem, waar hy vinnig 'n reputasie as 'n harde-hop ses Stringer met gedugte tjops deur 'n reeks van vakleerlingskappe met die hou van honking tenoor saksofoonspeler Willis "Gaitor stert" Jackson en Hammond B-3 orrel meester Jack McDuff. Martino het sy luisterryke debuut as 'n leier op die ouderdom van 22 met 1967 se El Hombre op Prestige en gevolg met 'n string van kragtige opnames vir die etiket wat hom verder gevestig as een van die mees kenmerkende kitaar stemme op die jazz scene. Dan, op die hoogtepunt van sy magte, die onderste val uit. In 1980 het hy 'n operasie ondergaan as gevolg van 'n byna noodlottige brein aneurisme. Die operasie het hom sonder enige herinnering van die kitaar of sy musikale loopbaan. Van daardie punt, Martino het onderneem om die lang proses van herstel, uiteindelik leer hoe om die kitaar te speel weer. maar meer belangrik, leer om die instrument te bowe homself en sy lewe heeltemal in die oomblik. More than just the remarkable story of one of the most original and profoundly influential guitarists in jazz history, this extraordinarily revealing autobiography is also a survival manual, of sorts, in overcoming incredible adversity and learning to live in the here and now.
