A sigh of relief was breathed by many a fan upon the release of The Maker, because it marked the first time Pat Martino had released recordings in successive years since the late '70s. Here he is once again joined by kindred spirits James Ridl on piano and Marc Johnson on bass, along with the relatively unknown but very capable Joe Bonadio on drums. All members get a chance to shine on "Noshufuru," but it is Ridl who makes the biggest impression on his unaccompanied opening to "You're Welcome to a Prayer." Martino is in a reflective mood on this standout track -- as he also is on "The Changing Tides" and "Yoshiko" -- with strong similarities to his classic We'll Be Together Again recording with Gil Goldstein. The closing track, "This Autumn's Ours," is the session's only weak spot, as neither Martino or Ridl can quite match the excitement being generated by the rhythm section. Still, this is a highly recommended session featuring all original Martino compositions and more proof that the master was indeed back.

Muchos fans suspiraron de alivio con la publicación de The Maker, porque era la primera vez que Pat Martino publicaba grabaciones en años sucesivos desde finales de los 70. En esta ocasión, se le unen de nuevo los espíritus afines James Ridl al piano y Marc Johnson al bajo, junto con el relativamente desconocido pero muy capaz Joe Bonadio a la batería. Todos los miembros tienen la oportunidad de brillar en "Noshufuru", pero es Ridl quien causa la mayor impresión en su apertura sin acompañamiento de "You're Welcome to a Prayer". Martino está en un estado de ánimo reflexivo en este tema destacado -como también lo está en "The Changing Tides" y "Yoshiko"- con fuertes similitudes con su clásica grabación We'll Be Together Again con Gil Goldstein. El tema final, "This Autumn's Ours", es el único punto débil de la sesión, ya que ni Martino ni Ridl pueden igualar la emoción generada por la sección rítmica. No obstante, es una sesión muy recomendable que incluye todas las composiciones originales de Martino y una prueba más de que el maestro ha vuelto.
