Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The name of the CD's "Pitts and Martino", not "M&P".......2003-08-29

Notwithstanding the carping about Martino's lack of prominence in previous posts, which is immaterial since Pitts is the featured artist here, this cd rocks. As she emphatically states in the liner notes, Trudy is not a Smith/McGriff/McDuff/etc. clone and as such avoids the endless cliches, tasty as they can be, which the former players often resort to. The only drawback is her singing, unless you're a fan of camp, in which case the vocals might actually be worth the purchase price alone. "Spanish Flea"....yeaaaaaah!

2 out of 5 stars Not Enough Pat Martino !.......2002-05-22

As a hardcore fan of Martinos brilliant single note improvisation - I found this CD... a bit odd. Here, Pat is merely in a supportive role, (typically not a bad thing)behind some pretty weak arrangements. The percussion and the feel of the ensemble is somewhat cool - but, it really straddles the line between luke warm and boring.

In general, this CD sounds very hokey for something I would expect Pat to even participate in. Its a far,far cry from his recent CD, "Live At Yoshi's".

If you are looking for tons of Martino blowing, as he so masterfully does - it is NOT on this CD.

5 out of 5 stars TSOP organ style ! ! !.......2000-07-28

Sometimes you think Pat Martino and you think a trillion miles an hour trillion notes an hour solos, but then you hear him hooked up with Trudy Pitts and gazoom, he's groovin' and cookin' as well.

Philly bred a lot of heavy cooking post-bop Jazz organists... Groove Holmes, Don Patterson, Shirley Scott and later of course Joey D. among them... definitely there was something symbiotic going on between those two... and I guess old Trudy kept the young lion in line.

This is enjoyable groove heavy listening... TSOP... the sound of Philadelphia... organ style, and I a fine walk between the lines of straight ahead bop and funky soul Jazz.
