Pat Martino - Live At Yoshi's (2001)

Lovers of the lush Hammond B3 - guitar sound have ample reason to rejoice with this tour de force of a live set that took place at San Francisco's famed Yoshi's jazz club in 2001. Martino is accompanied by wunderkind Joey DeFrancesco on B3 organ and Billy Hart on drums, a power trio then and the closest you can get to Cream in a jazz context to my ears at least -- amazing interplay throughout.

Pat Martino - Remember : A Tribute to Wes Montgomery (2006)

It is always touching to witness a jazz giant pay service to another. In this case, guitarist extraordinaire Pat Martino does a fitting tribute to his primary influence and the love of his youth, Wes Montgomery.

A little overproduced perhaps compared to his earlier offerings, but essential nonetheless.
