Pat Martino is a legend for more than his speed-demon virtuosity at high-velocity tempos or his angelic harmonies on ballads. He has also faced death several times and tells the tale of his survival and recovery with a perspective akin to a zen master. These recordings from Martino's personal collection document the easy interplay and chemistry that he had forged with rhythm guitarist Bobby Rose on their first duet tour during the summer of 1977. Both men were at the very peak of their powers during these years and we are fortunate to have these superb performances preserved for posterity.
