About this product

Five years after it's first volume, Alternative Guitar Summit returns with Honoring Pat Martino, Vol. 2, a second tribute to one of jazz guitar's towering voices. Drawn largely from 2021 pandemic-era sessions, these performances capture a moment when making music together carried renewed meaning and urgency. What began as a canceled live event evolved into a series of intimate studio recordings, bringing together a distinguished group of artists to celebrate Martino's enduring legacy. Guitarists including Kurt Rosenwinkel, Cecil Alexander, Dave Stryker, Paul Bollenback, project producer Joel Harrison, and others, offer personal interpretations that reflect both reverence and individuality. Newly recorded tracks from 2025 complete the program, adding unique perspectives to this expansive portrait. Rather than replicate Martino's singular voice, these artists honor his legacy by engaging the depth, sophistication and genius of his compositions, reaffirming their place at the heart of the modern jazz canon. Album Tracks 1. Villa Hermosa 2. Lean Years 3. Remembrance 4. A Blues for Mickey O 5. City Lights 6. El Hombre 7. Song Bird 8. A Portrait of Diana 9. Lean Years (Slight Return) 10. Welcome to a Prayer

There are a mere handful of guitarists that have changed the way we think about the guitar over the past five or six decades. Pat Martino is perhaps one of the greatest and best-known of those icons. The term InchgeniusInch is overused today, but Pat Martino was definitely one. His life story was the very definition of the word. Before Martino's passing in November, 2021, the Alternative Guitar Summit honored him and his enormous contribution to jazz in this set of studio recordings by 14 jazz guitarists playing selections from his imaginative and varied catalog of compositions. Producer Joel Harrison is thrilled to have brought together this crew of great musicians to show their love for him while HighNote Records is proud to present this first volume of their recordings. Album Tracks 1. Inside Out 2. Black Glass 3. Line Games 4. Willow 5. Noshufuru 6. Lament 7. On the Stairs 8. Joyous Lake 9. Country Road
