Long before he became a world renowned jazz guitarist Pat Martino was a sideman in small combos that prominently featured the Hammond B-3 organ. He's never lost his affection for that particular group dynamic so here Martino sounds perfectly content enhancing the rhythm section's soulful thrust while, at the same time, his post-bop, minor mode improvising is sleek and precise. A live recording with the full-throated tenor sax of Eric Alexander, drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts and Tony Monaco keeping the B-3 pedals to the metal, Undeniable promises to be one of 2011's most exciting releases.
