Digital Booklet

"... an organ-drenched speedfest that shows off this Philly kid’s ability to play soulfully, spinning out seemingly endless solos shot through with blue notes, flatted fifths, and 30-second runs. It was Martino’s calling card, and this was his party. And it is, appropriately, a good time."

Widely recognized today as one of jazz’s greatest and most original guitarists, Pat Martino was just 22 when he recorded his debut album El Hombre in 1967. The album, his first date as a leader, finds the young guitarist flashing his distinctive soul-jazz chops. Accompanied by organist Trudy Pitts, flutist Danny Turner, drummer Mitch Fine and both Abdu Johnson and Vance Anderson on percussion, Martino's runs alternatingly dance over Latin-tinged rhythms and groove in the pocket with classic, soulful flavour. El Hombre stands the test of time as an absolute best-of-genre, guitar soul-jazz workout.
