Review by Alex Henderson
When Willis Jackson and Pat Martino got together in the 1960s and the 1970s, the improvisers usually had a very strong rapport. Released in 1998, this collection gathers some of their work for Muse in the 1970s and draws on three albums: Headed and Gutted (1974), Bar Wars (1977), and Single Action (1978). Painting a well-rounded picture of Jackson's work with Martino, With Pat Martino ranges from exhilarating, high-speed bop burners like "The Goose Is Loose" and "Single Action" to the slow blues of "Bolita" and "Miss Ann," to soulful ballad statements such as "My One and Only Love" and Bobby Vinton's "Blue Velvet" (which hasn't received a lot of attention from the jazz world but works impressively well as a jazz ballad). Jackson had calmed down since his honker sessions of the late 1940s and early '50s, but he still had a very big, fat tone and a lot of energy -- no one's going to mistake With Pat Martino for cool jazz. The material on this CD isn't very ambitious, but it's certainly heartfelt and rewarding.

Reseña de Alex Henderson
Cuando Willis Jackson y Pat Martino se reunían en los años 60 y 70, los improvisadores solían tener una gran compenetración. Publicada en 1998, esta colección recoge algunos de sus trabajos para Muse en los años 70 y se basa en tres álbumes: Headed and Gutted (1974), Bar Wars (1977) y Single Action (1978). Con Pat Martino, que ofrece una imagen completa del trabajo de Jackson con Martino, abarca desde estimulantes temas de bop de alta velocidad como "The Goose Is Loose" y "Single Action" hasta el blues lento de "Bolita" y "Miss Ann", pasando por baladas conmovedoras como "My One and Only Love" y "Blue Velvet" de Bobby Vinton (que no ha recibido mucha atención del mundo del jazz pero que funciona impresionantemente bien como balada de jazz). Jackson se había calmado desde sus sesiones de honker de finales de los años 40 y principios de los 50, pero seguía teniendo un tono muy grande y gordo y mucha energía: nadie va a confundir With Pat Martino con el cool jazz. El material de este CD no es muy ambicioso, pero es ciertamente sincero y gratificante.
