Pre-Concert Talk with Pat Martino

San Francisco, CA CA
"We're Talkin' Jazz"
with Pat Martino
The Jazz Heritage Center, in collaboration with Yoshi's San Francisco, continues its "We're Talkin' Jazz" pre-concert lecture series with Pat Martino on Wednesday, June 2nd from 6pm-7pm in the Jazz Heritage Center's Media & Education Center.
Since playing his first notes while still in his pre-teenage years, Martino has been recognized as one of the most exciting and virtuosic guitarists in jazz. With a distinctive, fat sound and gut-wrenching performances, he represents the best not just in jazz, but in music. He embodies thoughtful energy and soul.
One of the most original of the jazz-based guitarists to emerge in the 1960s, Pat Martino made a remarkable comeback after brain surgery in 1980 to correct an aneurysm caused him to lose his memory and completely forget how to play. It took years, but he regained his ability, partly by listening to his older records.
Please join us for an intimate conversation with a jazz legend.
This talk is free to members of the Jazz Heritage Center and ticket-holders for any of Mr. Martino's performances at Yoshi's, June 1-2.
Due to limited seating, pre-registration is required.
The Jazz Heritage Center's Media and Education Center is located at 1330 Fillmore at the rear of the lobby, next to Yoshi's box office.
