Description
It would be fair to ask why a guitar player was selected to headline a B-3 organ summit. In the case of Pat Martino, the answer is clear. En route to becoming one of the most iconic jazz guitarists Martino moved from Philadelphia to Harlem at just 15, cutting his teeth with B-3 organ giants Don Patterson, Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack McDuff, and others. Martino became a legend in the late ‘60s with a series of Prestige albums including El Hombre, East! and Desperado, often using the organ trio as his basic rhythm section. His current quartet features B-3 master Tony Monaco, who Keyboard magazine calls “a top-notch Hammond virtuoso.”

Over the past 20 years Larry Goldings has pursued hallowed ground in the realm of ‘60s B-3 great Larry Young. But the Larry Goldings Trio, with guitarist Peter Bernstein and drummer Bill Stewart, has also forged a lithe new concept. The trio demonstrated its groove versatility with a series of ‘90s Blue Note albums backing guitar star John Scofield.
