4 out of 5 stars Now, This Is A Deal.......2003-10-21

The odds of anyone reading this review are about 200,000 to 1, but in case you are a Martino fan who was hoping the 1976 fusion album "Joyous Lake" would someday be released on CD, wait no more. Amazingly, the Savoy marketing people have chosen to include a second album, "Starbright," for free. Altogether, it's a good value, with a running time of 75 minutes and reasonable sound quality.

Well, okay, "Starbright" seems like a bunch of short, mostly mellow, studio jams thrown together for contractual obligations. But, "Joyous Lake," with it's intricate, funky arrangements, quirky synth sounds, and virtuoso ensemble playing is worth the money alone. It's one of the great hidden classics of 1970s fusion. And some of the "Starbright" tracks aren't all that bad, either. If you are a long-time Pat Martino fan, I don't think you will be disappointed.
