With the recent news that Russell Malone has sadly recently passed away, it seem almost prophetic watching this great performance of him, Pat Martino and Chuck Loeb who similarly are no longer with us. Yet again, I felt ever so sad this week. It really sucks to know these gentlemen aren't with us displaying their endless skills. May they all Rest in Peace. Mark Whitfield nevertheless is still very much with us and playing incredibly well. May the gods continue to remain kind.
All three are using Pat Martino's techniques. Rather than a Wes Montgomery tribute it looks like a Pat Martino Legacy concert! He is one of the best!!!
I think you are wrong ...everybody is soloing in chord changes with alterations and subtitutions and it was not invented by martino ,, a famous guitar player always is influenced by other famous guitar player like Wes Montgomery but there are famous guitar player are influenced by famous saxophones players like parker .Coltrane ,cannonball solos
Hello Carl, Thanks for your opinion, I appreciate sane debates. Of course Martino didn’t invent all those concepts and technics. But his phraseology and articulation back in the 1967 (CD> El Hombre) make a great difference, in contrast with the jazz guitar context of the sixties. Kenny Burrell launched an album in the 1963, also Joe Pass, and also Grant Green, but none of them surpass Wes Montgomery technic and creativity. (even though I am a big fan of Burrell) After 1963 there wasn’t any other great jazz guitar album until the celebrated Baiyina in 1968 from Pat Martino. From those first two albums (el hombre, and Baiyina) I can identify a big change in articulation in comparison to Wes Montgomery style (for naming it in any way) the bluesy feeling was almost gone, the lines were extended and a little more acid and profound. Of course there are many guitar players that took reference in other musicians, but I still can’t find any album in the 67’ that has the kind of phraseology Pat offered: (Miles Davis: Sorcerer, Chick Corea: Now He Sings Now He Sobs, Jackie McLean: Demon's Dance, John Coltrane: Expression, Lester Bowie: Numbers 1 & 2) and the same thing happens before that. But again, there are many reasons to support your point or mine, but from my experience, he is the one who change everything after Wes M. I’m currently studying with him, and I can assure you that his method is transcendent, it is beyond music theory, it’s pure greatness. You definitely should check it out, if you didn’t already. It’s the first guitar method made for the guitar and from the guitar. Something curious, he told me that he studied with a teacher named Sandole when he was a kid and Coltrane studied with him at the same time. Greetings
Loeb almost sounded more like Martino than Martino ! Sure played a lot of his licks, with maybe a bit more youthful energy than the more relaxed old Master
Rip Russell Malone I'll never forget first time I heard you play was in Albany Ga for Apostle Isaiah Revils at the Cathedral in the 80s you was the best so sorry for your passing 😢😢all my prayers and sympathy to the family ❤❤❤❤
Pat Martino masters all the parameters to catch the stars on stage . He plays with authority and conviction . He has the best sound, tone and level , the greatest knowledge and feeling to walk on Wes paths .His hardbop lines are clear ,fluent and melodic and he delivers a great and beautiful chorus built with architectural perfection in a complete relaxed smiling performance . His colleagues stand as very good guitar players .
For me, Russell Malone is the best. They are all great... But Russell has it all... technique, melody (the most melodious outside playing I've ever heard), rhythm... I never get tired of his playing.
Chuck Loeb sounded real nice on the bridge. The flight of the bumble bee or whatever it is quote is cool on this. Am I the only one that caught Russell' " Do the Hustle" quote?
Martino's soloing magic is at least in part an adaption of techniques that can also be traced to Jack McDuff and Don Patterson, two of his mentors. The tension building with not quite repetitious lines ending in an explosion out of it is very much an organ technique.
so I ......but only ONE was WES MONTGOMERY !!!!! others are only trained guitar players ...... " neck workers " . ..and we need this complete team sharing here and there some fine lines to make the deal !
Didn’t realize how great a player pat is up there with Wes for sure chuck loeb and rest are all super talented musicians! This is just wonderful music but Wes is still my favorite jazz guitarist has been for quite a while along with joe pass and Larry carlton
Great guitar quartet with some amazing, smoking solos. Love the way Malone snuck that "Goin' Out of My Head" quote under Martino's theme statement. RIP Chuck, thanks for the memories.
Masterful guitar players all. Listening to each of these master guitarists take on this great number, then listening to Wes playing it (in both the Creed Taylor/Don Sebresky commercialized production and in his trio format), you come to understand the difference between master craftsman (like these guys) and pure genius (like Wes was).
Whitfield was blazing I love his feel and the way he uses double stops. I saw Chuck Loeb a couple years ago at Jazz fest in the park he and sax player were matching solos I was flabbergasted.
I love it so much, each and every tone, and most importantly, each and every solo was distinct and memorable in its own way, will we ever get another performance like this, on any instrument, ever????
Oh my this is one of the best videos I love to watch and hear Pat Martino ,chuck Loeb have met them both so so cool and always the nicest went back stage and talked to them love there music...
Wonderful to revisit this great playing and see Pat very happy, sadly Chuck is gone, Pat may never play again, Russell and Mark are outstanding, please credit all members on YT vids, they earned it. much thanks
Thanks you. Four virtuosos. Pat makes it look effortless...somehow. Met him at the airport in Switzerland, had a great conversation on the flight to NY. Very interesting guy to say the least.
You shouldn't have to compete with the drummer to be HEARD, on any tune dedicated to the memory of a guitarist, featuring four guitarist !!! Chuck Loeb stood out because as the only guitarist with a solid body guitar, all of what he was playing could be heard. Could anyone hear one note the bassist was playing...???
More sensible guy : ( i play the game of the comments here :) ) Chuck for sure, none of them have most vocabulary and feeling. Like says John Golberg ( see comment below) : He took it away.
hate that loose snare, since Pat set the pace it was a pretty hard task to follow, all these guys are great in their own right, Pat's here Tokyo now doing Cotton Club shows
Jazz in Marciac !! it says it in the blue bubble at the rear left of the stage - Marciac is a beautiful market town in SW France, they have a 15 day jazz festival in August every year . . Wynton Marsalis is president of JIM -- enjoy jazz

All four are great guitarists paying tribute to one of the greatest, Wes. RIP Chuck, we miss you, you really nailed this solo.
Pat Martino is in a league of his own...I never get tired of his playing, he's so amazing
Fra Aul Bingo
Russell Malone is a monster he one of the best guitar player I know I played guitar to and me and him come up together in music
So is Chuck!!...lover is groove!!...and groove is everything!!...hard worker!!...but yeah, Pat is as smooth as butter!!...
U can tell Martinos influence on all of them wonderful!!!
Everyone playing with him was influenced by him. RIP, Martino. And SO sorry to see you leave us so soon, Russel Malone. And Chuck L.
Martino is perfect , he is a monster guitarist , his swing is so sweet that his solo feels like water
All three are using Pat Martino's techniques. Rather than a Wes Montgomery tribute it looks like a Pat Martino Legacy concert!
He is one of the best!!!
+Rik Castillo El Hombre !!!
+Rik Castillo:
Russel Malone happens to be one of the best, also.

RIP Pat...always the thicker sound when playing with colleagues!
Chuck had more passion in here, that's why we can see Pat had a smile
Loeb almost sounded more like Martino than Martino ! Sure played a lot of his licks, with maybe a bit more youthful energy than the more relaxed old Master
Love Pat smiling at Chuck's solo.
: )

Gene Harris
He was really diggin' it
I was there. Beautiful night for any music and 6-string lover.
خیلی ممنون. اصلا انتظار نداشتم فارسی زیر ویدیو نوشته باشه
Pat oh sweet pat like aged brandy goes down smooth
Pat Martino introduced a new level of musicianship in the 1960’s. Others like Russel Malone, Chuch Loeb and Mark Withfield followed magnificently.
Rip Russell Malone I'll never forget first time I heard you play was in Albany Ga for Apostle Isaiah Revils at the Cathedral in the 80s you was the best so sorry for your passing 😢😢all my prayers and sympathy to the family ❤❤❤❤
Chuck Loeb great guitar player. (R. I. P.)
The camera’s Where’s Waldo “work” is like a foretaste of a multi-participant Zoom call.
Respekt for the courage play with Pat on one stage ❤️ RIP legend
pure magic from 4 masters paying tribute to another master...WOW
Pat Martino masters all the parameters to catch the stars on stage . He plays with
authority and conviction . He has the best sound, tone and level , the greatest knowledge
and feeling to walk on Wes paths .His hardbop lines are clear ,fluent and melodic and
he delivers a great and beautiful chorus built with architectural perfection in a complete
relaxed smiling performance . His colleagues stand as very good guitar players .
Jean-Luc Bersou: A lousy sound man.
Tout en finesse...
But ....Chuck Loeb is absolute upper class !!!!
Pat was mentored by Wes when he was a teenager. Wes once said that Pat was the only one who could keep coming up with more new ideas than Wes could.
For me, Russell Malone is the best. They are all great... But Russell has it all... technique, melody (the most melodious outside playing I've ever heard), rhythm... I never get tired of his playing.
Chuck Loeb sounded real nice on the bridge. The flight of the bumble bee or whatever it is quote is cool on this. Am I the only one that caught Russell' " Do the Hustle" quote?
Bad to the BOne ,played this over and over 4 times.Going to purchase the CD.Pat is in the POCKET.
Met Pat 4 times starting 1972..Chicago..The Master. And a better Man
Chuck loeb destruiu!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pat Martino"s playing and tone are magnificent.
Overwhelming! I am awestruck!! It would make Wes cry if he were here.
Yeah, Chuck Loeb shredded this one! On a solid body too...cool.
They all play great but... Pat Martino is the coolest.
+My Kar EL HOMBRE !
pat martino good lord... like a grown man with children... wow
Pat Martino showed how it could be done in the 1960s with ground breaking virtuosity, and he still had it.
a pat martino fan and disciple since 1971.. my lifelong hero and mentor.. but here chuck loeb took the prize for best solo.. 🎸😎
Martino's soloing magic is at least in part an adaption of techniques that can also be traced to Jack McDuff and Don Patterson, two of his mentors. The tension building with not quite repetitious lines ending in an explosion out of it is very much an organ technique.
Great observation. Never thought of it like that and it makes perfect sense.
Chuck Loeb was an incredible guitarist . Tone , melliflous playing !
Rest dear man .... 👍🙋♂️🙏
Wow.
Great playing from all these guys.
I did not know Chuck Loeb could tear it up so beautifully and funky.
And Martino was still great.
Chuck Loeb played Giant Steps in all 12 keys for fun. While he was sleeping.
RIP chuck:(
I would have loved to hear one of them play like Wes.
D Ivaz There were lots of references to Wes.
so I ......but only ONE was WES MONTGOMERY !!!!! others are only trained guitar players ...... " neck workers " . ..and we need this complete team sharing
here and there some fine lines to make the deal !
the elements of the structure of this blues brought us to a new event which was a plateau in which other events were multiplied
Didn’t realize how great a player pat is up there with Wes for sure chuck loeb and rest are all super talented musicians! This is just wonderful music but Wes is still my favorite jazz guitarist has been for quite a while along with joe pass and Larry carlton
RIP PAT and CHUCK
Even Martino was enjoying Chuck Loeb playing Martino! Chuck was obvious the man on that tune.
Loeb, Killed it.
Great guitar quartet with some amazing, smoking solos. Love the way Malone snuck that "Goin' Out of My Head" quote under Martino's theme statement. RIP Chuck, thanks for the memories.
great Pat Martino and Chuck Loeb !
Yet to see Martino & Benson in the ring !
It shouldn't be a problem considering they're friends !
Pat Martino 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍...
Chuck Loeb solo....Daaaammmmn!!!!!^
Awesome
Few years ago I saw Pat Martino live performance..I will never will forget that night.
Just when you think you've all heard....Pat Martino arrives..!!!
Chuck Loeb, best solo for me
RIP :(
Loeb was great but...Pat invented all that shit !
Pat ...
Pat Martino.
C'est d'une finesse et d'une technicité...
Le meilleur pour moi sur les solos.
Who cares
Masterful guitar players all. Listening to each of these master guitarists take on this great number, then listening to Wes playing it (in both the Creed Taylor/Don Sebresky commercialized production and in his trio format), you come to understand the difference between master craftsman (like these guys) and pure genius (like Wes was).
Pat's owning it! He's turning his head like he's saying been there done that
Nice nod to Don Sebesky by Russell Malone. Great playing by all.
4 grandes de la guitarra jazz! Pat eres un grande entre los grandes en todos los sentidos estupendo ser humano y guitarrista, Larga vida al master Pat
Whitfield was blazing I love his feel and the way he uses double stops. I saw Chuck Loeb a couple years ago at Jazz fest in the park he and sax player were matching solos I was flabbergasted.
I think out of all the fine musician on the stage Pat Martino licks where the most
soulful.
RIP chuck , man you cooked...
I love it so much, each and every tone, and most importantly, each and every solo was distinct and memorable in its own way, will we ever get another performance like this, on any instrument, ever????
Rest In Peace Pat love and peace.
Que buena jam session de 🎸 gracias 🎶 saludos Mr Pat Martino, que descanse🎸 🙏
Oh Pat sweet Pat you had the nicest touch.
is it me or does it feel like there's something wrong for the first minute? Must show the brilliance of wes
Lovely playing, Pat is way ahead in his expression .. and language.
For Jazz guitar---Pat Martino & George Benson----Everyone else draw a number for 2nd Place!!!!!
Sara Thomas Their no second place! everyone is good in their own right!
@@andrewmiller5610 yeah right
“ The hustle”quote at 5:49 😆
Excelente músico es Pat Martino 👌🤝👍👌
God, this is wonderful! Pat is out of this world- but so is every other musician onstage. What a treat
One of best smooth jazz tune!!
that term “smooth jazz” is quite corny, most jazz greats hate it..
Chuck Loeb did it for me!!!
An amazing guitar band
Oh my this is one of the best videos I love to watch and hear Pat Martino ,chuck Loeb have met them both so so cool and always the nicest went back stage and talked to them love there music...
Pat has a very unique right hand...
Wow SO MUCH fantastic guitar!!
prelijepo nice
The ballerina David Spinnoza
the moment when you realize there are too many guitar players on stage and you are one of them ...
Wonderful to revisit this great playing and see Pat very happy, sadly Chuck is gone, Pat may never play again, Russell and Mark are outstanding, please credit all members on YT vids, they earned it. much thanks
Russell Malone ripped
Thanks you. Four virtuosos. Pat makes it look effortless...somehow. Met him at the airport in Switzerland, had a great conversation on the flight to NY. Very interesting guy to say the least.
ckuck loeb oh my gooood what an interpretation...
Une savante dissertation pour le doctorat en Guitare ! Grave 😳😳😳😳 👍
Quantum guitar !
It´s nothing to say more than this is just great!
Drummer was playing too loud through the solos.
Amen, especially noticed on Malone's solo.
You shouldn't have to compete with the drummer to be HEARD, on any tune dedicated to the memory of a guitarist, featuring four guitarist !!! Chuck Loeb stood out because as the only guitarist with a solid body guitar, all of what he was playing could be heard. Could anyone hear one note the bassist was playing...???
We're going to need more cowbell.
HAAAAAHahahahahahahahaha, Good one...LOL
@@commodoor646 yep and less POUNDING
the drummer is kind of blacksmith ......who can't play but strike .
Mark Whitfield hands down but they all are great hands clapping
So Cool 🎸🎸🎸🎸 ❤
That phrase at 5:12 to 5:16 sounds like head of Bebop by Dizzy and Bird
The intro to "Be Bop".
MAGIQUE !!!
Chuck took the show away... like a boss.
Pat Rules, amazing unique technique!
More sensible guy : ( i play the game of the comments here :) ) Chuck for sure, none of them have most vocabulary and feeling. Like says John Golberg ( see comment below) : He took it away.
2:15 when you know you're a bad jazz cat
A musical library just burned down. RIP.
Mark ,Russell Pat ,Chuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
Mark Whitfield is a bad ass player!
hate that loose snare, since Pat set the pace it was a pretty hard task to follow, all these guys are great in their own right, Pat's here Tokyo now doing Cotton Club shows
