JFS #13 The Pat Martino Interview
"The guitar for me had become a residence for me. I had been initially exposed to some incredibly efficient artists in jazz. Not only on the guitar, but many different instruments. This was a dream for me to be able to participate in this community with so many different facets that I was yet to learn in the near future.
Maybe if I would have known I would have turned in a completely different direction. I went to Harlem with definitive expectations and when I say definitive I say that through the lens of a child. Experiencing the ecstasy of a new opportunity. Not even knowing @ that stage of development what that outcome would be.
What was understood became a close friend and it resided within me.
There was always a misunderstanding coming from expectations of others saying, "your suppose to do this," or "your suppose to do that."
"Your suppose to use these strings, and your suppose to use a pick like this." That's the very same way of saying your suppose to worship god like this. Your suppose to wear these clothes, your never suppose to say what you just said.
It's the same thing with the instrument that I've happily resided in for so many years. Its an encasement. A vehicle that provided an opportunity to be mobile and access to different world markets and media. Keeping in mind that you are learning from these opportunities."

Thanks Jake for interviewing Pat. I know him for over 35 years. He is a great human being and musician. It was a wonderful and inspiring conversation from both of you.

Jake.
I am so proud of you buddy! Your show is amazing. I am just now
discovering the rich cornucopia of The Jake Feinberg Program.
Currently checking out the Mike Clark interview after so thoroughly
enjoying the Martino interview. FYI, my band, the Mumbles, just went
on tour with the Headhunters.
Much Love and Merry xmas,

PM- a great guy and deep thinker. When he says the pleasure is all his, and at the end is very uplifted and truly thankful to be asked to return to your show in the future upon your request- well, that says it all. A great interview 4 years ago as it shall be at any time hence. Maybe there is a follow-up interview or perhaps it hasn’t occurred yet. I’m a new subscriber. Nice treasure trove of personal accounts and beliefs held by serious artists herein. Written interviews are great- but actual conversations heard as they take place are far more informational. Tone of voice in searching for the right question or answer creates a spontaneous performance in itself. Jake- you’re helping us to get to know these individuals in a deeper medium than print. I just joined a couple days ago, and really only started listening today. Lots to catch up on, but I’m glad I’m off to the races. Thanks for weighing in on a simple Facebook entry which landed our on line acquaintance and my subscription. We’ll be talking, and the pleasure is all mine as well.
