“Jazz is the continual pulsation of the now.”
-- Pat Martino -
“The music has generated all the techniques I use. When I sit down to learn to play something . . . it is not because I want to master a technique. It is because I want to hear what an idea sounds like.”
-- Pat Martino -
“True Music, like all true Art, is an experience to be shared, not judged, for praise cannot make it better, as blame cannot make it worse”
-- Pat Martino -
“As an improviser you need to experience the moment- and that includes everything in the moment. Observe the people around you-the bandleader, the bartender-what they wear, how they deal with people, the simple continuity of their presence. As you do that you'll see how you affect them , and you'll play and act accordingly. You need to study the reality of the moment, and that is very rarely about studying modes and intervals.”
-- Pat Martino
