Pat Martino performs Nuages as a tribute to Django Reinhardt. Please note that this is strictly a performance video for our youtube channel and is not part of the lesson series.
One of the most original of the jazz-based guitarists to emerge in the 1960s, Pat Martino made a remarkable comeback after brain surgery in 1980 to correct an aneurysm caused him to lose his memory and completely forget how to play. It took years, but he regained his ability, partly by listening to his older records. Martino began playing professionally when he was 15. He worked early on with groups led by Willis Jackson, Red Holloway, and a series of organists, including Don Patterson, Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Richard "Groove" Holmes, and Jimmy McGriff. After playing with John Handy (1966), he started leading his own bands and heading sessions for Prestige, Muse, and Warner Bros. that found him welcoming the influences of avant-garde jazz, rock, pop, and world music into his advanced hard bop style. After the operation, Martino did not resume playing until 1984, making his recording comeback with 1987's The Return. Although not as active as earlier, Pat Martino has regained his earlier form, recording again for Muse and Evidence; he later signed with Blue Note, issuing All Sides Now in 1996, followed two years later by Stone Blue and in 1998 by Fire Dance. In 2001 Martino released a live album recorded at Yoshi's in California. Two years later he teamed with saxophonist Joe Lovano for Think Tank. Remember: A Tribute to Wes Montgomery appeared on Blue Note in 2006.

Pat was a friend of my father's, who was a classical percussionist and jazz drummer. They performed together in NYC and Atlantic City in the 60's and 70s. I got to take guitar lessons with him, but was too young to realize who I was studying with. He was a master musician, but more importantly, a master human being. RIP Pat!
wow!....just....wow!!! Would love to hear what years that was and how he was as a teacher....only if willing, of course. I have every album of Pats and he was a big influence on me when I played (in no particular order, back in the 80's, Wes, George, and Pat)..I'd enjoy thinking of him as a teacher, with chops / incomparable feel that were just so unique
@@nkhmd That was back in 1970 and 1971. I started playing guitar in 1963 at 5, so when I took a few lessons with Pat, I was only 12 or 13. One time he came out to our house on Long Island to visit and taught me what a flat 5 flat 9 was and how to use it in rock, since my interest was rock at that time, not jazz. I had already studied with a few of my father's friends who tried to teach me classical, then jazz, but I really loved blues and rock. So Pat asked me what song I would like to learn, and I played Starship Trooper by Yes for him on my record player. That album had just come out and he had never heard it before, but was impressed with Steve Howe's playing and the musical invention of the piece (Rick Wakeman, etc.) He listened to it twice, then started picking it apart as if he was composing it himself, played it spot on, but improvised over Howe's improvisation in Wurm, and really enjoyed that. He went through the whole piece, taught me the chords and how to improvise to it. A lot of the full piece was too advanced for me at the time, but I was amazed at how easily he broke it down and played it, which demonstrated his amazing gifts both as a player, and teacher. And, I just remember him as being super kind and nonjudgemental. My father and Pat talked about the song and the musical innovation.which excited me as they liked the music I chose to listen to. I didn't see him much after that (I got into other things) and later heard about his condition and his triumphant return to playing. Incredible story, and person.
@@rabukan5842 Geezus what a fantastic story. What a treasured memory to have, and what insight into just how massively talented he was. I can't imagine a better guitar lesson ever--sitting there while Pat Martino offhandedly deconstructs Steve Howe.
Wow. Was für eine schöne Erinnerung. Trage sie für immer in Deinem. Herzen. 👍
@@rabukan5842 thanks so much for sharing this
R.I.P the light you shone on this planet will be missed
Goodbye Pat. This is a depressing day for music, one that reflects the somber tone of your playing here. Now we need a tribute not only to Django, but to Pat as well.
Check out Rick Beato. He just released a beautiful appreciation video. He plays examples of Pat's playing and explains his influence. It quite lovely.
Thank you for your comment
Your pfp matches your comment so well
@@chrisandersen5635 Ha! Almost every video I've watched of Pat Martino in the past few days has somebody referencing a musician who keeps giving back to the music community...Rick Beato! So cool! I've been hooked on Rick's videos for a few years now.
❤️
The one and only Pat Martino. The first time I saw him play was in the Lloyd Price big band with the Dick Clark Cavalcade of Stars at the Rochester NY War Memorial. He was 16, and so was I. Fast forward to 1993, I was trying to get ahold of Abe Rivera to build me a Scepter guitar like Pat's. I called Pat in Philadelphia, we had a nice conversation, and he hooked me up with Abe. When Abe was almost finished with my Scepter, he asked me if I wanted my autograph inlaid on the pick guard. I asked him to put Pat's autograph on it. Abe said he couldn't, so I called Pat and asked him if I could. He called Abe and gave him permission to do so. I cherish this Guitar. Now Pat and Abe are both gone.So sad. They were such great people.
Do a video playing that guitar.
Coolness Johnny - please upload a piece utilizing the beauty
Yes please do!
Thank you for sharing your story.
Every phrase is poetry. Every note is a word of art.
A master musician's master musician has been called home.
I knew Pat back in the late 70’s… taught me guitar. Met him at the Bottom Line club in NYC. Amazing humble extraordinary guitar player. You will be truly missed my friend
How great it is to be able to watch a master play in close up.
I work really hard in order to become a good musician. Only Pat managed to become great twice in his life. RIP master!
A living legend.
One of the most important jazz players of all time.
Agreed. Sad to think that he may very well never play again.
That's pushing it a bit far.
RIP

No it's not. There are quite a few people who place Pat Martino at the very top in terms of the best Jazz guitarists of all time.
His playing is : Beautiful, lyrical, accessible, meaningful and loose with great FEELING.
Pat Martino. Pat's phrasing,... the silence between the notes WTF!
Only one Pat Martino.
R.I.P. MAESTRO :(
Respect and RIP to Mr. Pat Martino(August 25, 1944-November 1, 2021).
Damn. RIp, brother, I came here for Django, I had no idea, peace. The man was excellent. Love to his family, friends and fans.
What a vocabulary. Gorgeous phrasing and tone
Rest in peace Maestro!
These are the days where Pat was not able to perform at the world class level he had once occupied for decades. Yet; he is able to play beautifully. His sound is still exquisite. His technique is still perfect. His expression is - artful. I will love his music for as long as I live. Thanks Pat.
Thats a legend playing another legends masterpiece
Gee, what a beautiful, sparkling clear guitar sound!
R.I.P. the great Pat Martino 🙏🇬🇧🙏
I bought a truefire lesson with him as the teacher
An amazing personality and he really loves music
Pat, thank you for the wonderful hope and light you put into this world with your dazzling artistry and introspective gifts. I hope you know we were listening.
Rest In Peace Pat.
Masterful..! Miss you already... 😢
GAH, this song hit hard. Pat was such an inspiration. I'm sure he will continue to be. Rest in peace, maestro.
I literally only just discovered him a few days back and his story…absolutely gutted to see he has only just passed away…..what an inspiration he has been
Django is smiling down from Heaven! Pat Martino has a wonderful soul.
His playing was perfect. God speed
Understated elegance, melody an integral part of the whole!
R.I.P. Mr. Martino 🙏🏼
R.I.P Pat,beautiful version of Nuages by a master....
Rest in peace
The next dimension is calling for their Apunian, no more undeserved suffering for this TWICE Genius. RIP Patrick Azzara a.k.a. Pat Martino
Is it just me, or are there enough excellent renditions of this tune to make an amazing piece of vinyl?
Thanks so much for posting Mr. Martino's version. RIP
These lines are so beautiful
And just as with Ed VH last year: All that ability + creativity - gone in an instant.
But never forgotten!
it's not gone, it's been luckily recorded by ingenious other humans =)
The difference " between the noise you hear, and the sounds you like" as One republic says , is something like this. I love Pat's music
One of my favorite Django Reinhardt songs how beautiful, and done by a brilliant 🎸 PAT MARTINO ❤, may his legacy live on.This video will help it introduce to a younger generation.
Goodbye Maestro... You will be deeply missed here on the Earth. But you will always have a very special place in our hearts. There is a whole era related to Pat Martino and his style. He had real magic in his endless lines, his melodic poetry, and of course in his approach to the view of guitar and guitar world. Truly the one and only Pat Martino... Thank you for everything you taught us! Words can't express pain from loosing you. R.I.P great teacher!

R.I.P. Mr. Martino. Many thanks for inspiring many people to play guitar.
Wow, beautiful. Thanks, Pat, for a life well lived and for inspiring a whole generation of guitar players, RIP. Guess what I'm going to play right now.
And that's truly how to play music, not guitar licks but music with feeling. A beautiful interpretation by a master...

2 of my favorite guitar players. I gave this a like before watching it. Thank you for the upload!!
I was fascinated by his version of Too high in an album of Blue note in tribute to Stevie Wonder. I bought nearly all his albums. This guy was a true genius. I saw him in Paris around 10 years ago with Tony Monaco. I already miss him.
Am I supposed to be floating ? . Beautiful gift to share . Thank you sir .
Masterful playing, a short lesson on playing less to make more happen! Bravo!
Very inspiring, thanks Pat...!
a true master - his genius, his love to share and teach never met him but his music tells it all. :)
Nice to have met you and worked with you Pat.... We'll miss you ....
The dark, beautiful tone of Pat Martino on a beautiful ballad - elegantly played with tasteful embellishments...perfection!
He would have been phenomenal just if he had managed to continue to grow from where he was and what he was as a musician without having to start again from scratch following the aneurism.
R.I.P. Pat. Thanks for the great music.
A true master guitar player who has played with master musicians!!
Maravilloso. No soy afecto al jazz. Recien supe de este hombre cuando falleció. Muy tarde. Pero igual me siento sarisfecho de saber y gozar de su vida musical en videos.
Love you Mr. Martino!
Just heard that he passed away.R.I.P. Pat Martino.
RIP, Master.
Could listen to this many times a day....the Bill Evans of the jazz guitar

PAT MARTINO - Nuages (Clouds)
Just learned of the death of one of my jazz guitar heroes, earlier this month, at age 77. The intuitive genius that is 'CZcams 2021' sent this video my way: Pat Martino's late-in-life solo rendition of Django Reinhardt's best tune, “Nuages” (Clouds) - for which Tony Bennett, 50 years on, composed a perfect lyric (and retitled the song, “All For You”).
Until this hour, I never knew the physical and mental adversities that Pat Martino heroically overcame, while building - and re-building from scratch his great skills as a jazz artist - one of Philadelphia's greatest musical sons (note below).
“I had the pleasure of creating an album called The Philadelphia Experiment with the great Pat Martino,” wrote drummer Questlove Thompson, another Philadelphian. “A Philadelphia legend and guitar master, who even became more legendary when, at the hands of a seizure due to an arteriovenous malformation, had amnesia at age 36 in 1980 and had to start all over again. ...
“He joked with me when I asked about playing simple songs like ‘Body And Soul.’ He countered, ‘I couldn’t even play “Mary Had A Little Lamb” … let alone tell you what a lamb was.’ Can you imagine that? Just shy of 40, you suddenly forget everything, including your passion. It would have been easy to just wallow in depression and rely on friends and family to just tell you who you once were. But instead, he decided to not only start over again, but surpassed the level that took him three-plus decades to get to. He did it, advancing way, way past his pre-amnesia levels to ensure his god status. … May he rest in melody.”
----
Born Patrick C. Azzara in Philadelphia, Martino was introduced to jazz through his father, who sang locally and studied guitar with Eddie Lang briefly. Martino began playing guitar himself at the age of 12 . . .
But his greatest achievement may have been recovering from surgery for a severe brain aneurysm that also damaged his memory. Through intensive study of his music, and with the help of computer technology, Martino was able to reverse the memory loss, and resumed his recording and performance career.
Prior to his death, crowdfunding efforts had raised nearly $250,000 to help cover Martino’s medical expenses. In March, guitarist Joel Harrison dedicated an evening of his online Alternative Guitar Summit to Martino with a dozen jazz guitar masters playing Martino’s compositions. Benedetto Guitars, the company that made his signature model, built and auctioned off a guitar to contribute to the effort.
Thanks, DC Music School for sharing. Celebrated elsewhere this day [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "
That guitar looks really nice.
He seemed like such a sweet man. Just like Wes did.
RIP 🙏
It is very, very, very good... Pat Martino is our big master ...
Master... have a good journey in Paradise... Which guitat is that... anybody knows?

Quel hommage exceptionnele ! un phrasé unique, un jeu d'une grande intensité
