Mitch Goldman's Deep Focus is back live on WKCR this Monday (8/8) for the first time since March 2020.  Guitarist/sonic architect Ben Tyree joins Mitch in examining rare live recordings of the magnificent guitarist Pat Martino who we lost since our last live broadcast.   If Pat Martino had not existed, some brilliant screenwriter would have had to make him up.  But who would have ever believed such a crazy story?  What other artist ever brought himself to the top of his game (a highwire act if ever there was one), then fell back to earth due to a near-fatal brain seizure (he had no recollection after it of guitar or even of his own family) and then started from the beginning to teach himself again to be "the guitarists' guitarist"?  And too bad the movie could never be made because no one else could play with his flawless chops and immediacy.  Pat Martino is an enduring model of how to live on the bandstand.     This Monday from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org.   The following Monday it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/   #WKCR #JazzAlternatives #DeepFocus #PatMartino #BenTyree #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #MitchGoldman Photo credit: by Tom Beetz.  This file is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License 2.0.
