Reviewed: 2018-02-11 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Martino is a guitarists' guitarist, After a career spanning decades, he returns to lead his trio in a moveable feast that recapitulates his work of the past while adding a contemporary touch, recalling the organ/guitar trios of yesteryear. Sax & trumpet players guest on different tracks.
