 | | Description: | From Pat Martino's private collection, here is a mid-1960's 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. Pat Marino's burning swing and improvisational wizardry takes on added zip with Gene Ludwig manning the B-3. with the colorful, propulsive drummer Randy Gelispie driving things along, this is one gig which surely deserves a "Legendary" epithet.Original recordings from Pat Martino's personal collection
Recorded live, Club 118, Louisville, KY, 1968-69

© ? 2004 Highnote Records, Inc."Young Guns" is a dynamic CD release by the Gene Ludwig-Pat Martino Trio that captures the fire and finesse of top-tier organ jazz. Centered around the soulful Hammond B3 of Gene Ludwig and the virtuosic guitar of Pat Martino, this album presents a powerful live-club atmosphere full of tight grooves, blues-drenched lines, and nimble improvisations. The interplay within the trio is intense yet relaxed, with each track unfolding organically, giving listeners the feeling of sitting in the front row of a classic jazz club session. For fans of straight-ahead jazz, soul-jazz, and organ trios, "Young Guns" offers a compelling blend of swing, funk-tinged rhythms, and lyrical solos that remain rooted in tradition while sounding fresh and immediate.
HighNote Records, the manufacturer of this CD, is known as a dedicated jazz label with a strong focus on acoustic, straight-ahead, and modern mainstream jazz. Over the years, HighNote has earned a reputation for high-quality recordings, carefully curated artist rosters, and respectful treatment of jazz legends and contemporary masters alike. The label stands for warm, detailed sound, liner notes with substance, and a catalog that appeals to discerning jazz collectors and new listeners in equal measure.
The Gene Ludwig-Pat Martino Trio unites two heavyweights of the organ-jazz tradition. Gene Ludwig, a respected Hammond B3 specialist, made his name with soulful, bluesy phrasing and a deep groove that connects gospel, blues, and jazz into a powerful, swinging whole. Pat Martino is widely regarded as one of the most influential modern jazz guitarists, known for his clean articulation, complex harmonic thinking, and remarkable sense of melodic development. Over his long career, Martino has recorded a series of highly regarded albums for major jazz labels and has inspired generations of guitarists with his technical command and musical depth. In this trio setting, both musicians spur each other to peak performance: Ludwig anchors the music with a rich, driving organ sound, while Martino's guitar lines shimmer above, resulting in a recording that celebrates the energy and sophistication of classic organ-guitar jazz. | | | No. of tracks: |
