Album Notes & Community Reviews
Making his debut as a leader at the young age of twenty-two, the phenomenally gifted guitarist delivered a masterclass in relaxed, highly melodic soul-jazz. Driven by Trudy Pitts' Hammond organ and strong Latin percussion elements, the session showcases Martino's unparalleled, lightning-fast single-note runs and sophisticated chord voicing. It immediately established him as a premier instrumentalist in the Prestige Records stable.
