Ritchie Hart told me that Delmar Brown and Kenwood Dennard were roommates at Berklee, so it wouldn’t surprise me if those guys actually were a band at the time. What I find most amazing is how effortlessly Martino settles into the telepathic interplay with the rest of the band. It’s definitely not a Big Star Fronting A Hired Backup situation; real 4-way conversation going on throughout.

Musically speaking, 2021 is not proving to be much better than last year. Shoot. Rest in peace, Pat.
I remember going to see see Hubert Laws at Mackey Auditorium at CU in Boulder in 1979(?) because a friend was into Hubert Laws and his mellow CTI stuff - not really my cup of tea, but what the hell. Nobody knew Martino was the opener. He played every song from Joyous lake with Delmar Brown, Mark leonard, Kenwood Dennard's insane Hi-hat foot - and the whole band was incredible. HL was a tad anti-climatic after that.
