Young Guns. Gene Ludwig, Pat Martino Trio
Label: HIGHNOTE Catalog: HCD 7258 Format: CD Gene Ludwig, Pat Martino Trio, Randy GelispieComposed by: Young Guns From Pat Martino’s private collection, here is a mid-1960s live gig featuring the B-3 artistry of Gene Ludwig and drummer Randy Gelispie. Rarely, if ever, have these artists played with more inner fire, more unbridled virtuosity and pure unadulterated joy as they did here, captured in the full bloom of their musical youth. Martino’s unrivaled technique could sometimes overshadow his band mates but not so here. Ludwig matches him every step of the way and delivers the performance of a lifetime - a performance which would have been completely lost had there not been a tape recorder going on that fateful night. The sound in this nearly fifty year-old tape remains a little rough-and-tumble but HighNote has employed two restoration experts to bring this valuable document into the light of commercial release. This is one gig which surely deserves “legendary” status. Price: $24.98 |
