CD Reviews

This album from Pat Martino is a real scorcher
D. Berryman | Minneapolis, MN United States | 12/28/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Pat Martino is widely recognized today as one of jazz's greatest and most original guitarists, Pat Martino was just 22 when he entered Van Gelder's studio for his debut disc, El Hombre, recorded in 1967. As a sideman, he had played with the greatest Hammond B3 players of the time: Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith, Don Patterson and Groove Holmes, among other B-3 organists, so it wasn't a stretch to hear his first disc be in the soul-jazz groove in the company of B3 organist and fellow Philadelphian Trudy Pitts. There are galloping tunes as well as tender ballads. A bonus track on this release is the previously unreleased "Song for My Mother." In addition to Christopher Peters' original liner note, new notes are added by Dave McElfresh. A stunning debut, El Hombre features originals and a Jobim cover, "Once I Loved." This is a great remastering of an essential album."
One of Martino's Best

"This is Pat Martino's first album as a leader. The recording is great and all of the songs swing like crazy. Pat is on fire here. He is truly a unique guitarist. This is a great introduction to his playing as well as an essential album for all Pat Martino fans or jazz guitar fans in general. Enjoy!"
