I am so saddened by the passing of the Greatest guitarist to ever exist on this planet. Pat was larger than life itself and a great mentor to me as an aspiring jazz guitarist. I learned so much from Pat in the course of 14 lessons and attending at least 40 concerts over a period of 16 years after meeting him for the first time at the Jazz Bistro in StLouis in 2005.

All my condolences to all his family and friends, wonderful manager Joe Donofrio and his wonderful wife Aya.

Many blessings and prayers 🙏🙏🙏.

Today 2nd of november was my birthday, and I learn the so sad news. I had the chance to meet Pat and made an interview for my broadcast. I am fan of him since… well the very beginning of his career. He was not only a guitar genius, but a so graet human being. What a sadness for me, and for jazz planet. My deepest condolences to his wife and all his loved ones. YvesFrom Paris France

Sleep well Pat... he was my teacher back in the 70s and a longtime friend. I was still in high school when I bought his 1972 album "The Visit" at 3rd St Jazz in Philly and it changed my life as a guitarist. So sad to hear he passed today, but we have his music and his approach to not only the guitar, but life and what it means to be a true artist. Condolences and prayers to Aya. Jack and Diana

Kate and I are sorry to learn of Pat's passing.
I had a great time playing and hanging with him when he appeared with us at our jazz series at Artis Naples in February of 2015. He was a great player and a wonderful cat. RIP.

To dear Aya, we are all so deeply saddened by the news of Pat's passing. We are thinking of you and your huge loss. Pat was, and always will be, an inspiration too many. I will treasure the time I spent with him, and you, 12 years ago, for ever. Pat was so incredibly generous with me during the two days I spent with him. You were both so, so gracious and generous with your time with Mary and I, and we will never forget that. Thank you Pat, thank you for your music, thank you you for your generosity; your are a legend, and legends live for ever. God bless you and rest in peace. All our love, Tony Calabro and family .
