Jazz guitarist Pat Martino passed away yesterday at the age of 77, in the home in South Philadelphia he grew up in. His obituary in the Philadelphia Inquirer says everything I wanted to say, so stop over there and read it, if you please. "Alone Together" is taken from a master class with pianist Dave Frank.
Haven’t heard of him, but that is a lovely piece.

Wow, what a great guitarist. It is always so sad when a great entertainer passes away.

Age is a harsh master, I’m afraid. He had a cerebral hemorrhage in the late ’70’s and completely forgot how to play guitar, and he relearned it from scratch.
