The Return (Pat Martino album)


The Return is a live album by guitarist Pat Martino which was recorded in 1987 and first released on the Muse label.

Reception

awarded the album 3 stars stating "Pat Martino suffered a brain aneurysm in 1980, and after successful surgery, he was left with musical amnesia. He had to completely relearn how to play guitar, and the process of recovery took a long time... Martino performs lengthy versions of four new originals during a live set from Fat Tuesdays, showing no mercy either for his sidemen or toward himself... the guitarist's musical courage is admirable, and the music is frequently exciting".
