As an aspiring hobbyist jazz drummer (and a tinkering guitarist) I cannot tell you how much I cherish the well-spring of creativity that you have blessed planet earth with.

The first recording I ever heard was Exit. (Played to my by my drum teacher) Yes… it was one of THOSE recordings. It absolutely changed my world. And boy did I feel lucky. I mean this was back in the 80's. It was all word of mouth… and man… it was like uncovering a secret treasure. And I still do feel that way.

I currently reside in West Harlem. And you can laugh or call me crazy, but I sometimes wonder if my foot has stepped in the same spot that maybe yours or any other jazz musician who once lived in the area did.

Yes. There are many of us thinking about you during this trying time. But you are strong. And I look forward to hearing more from you upon your recovery. All the best.

Mr. Martino: I cannot accurately express how much it means to me knowing such a soul as you exists in this world. Even putting aside your prodigious musical teaching and performance skills, your humility, grace, and even presence inspire us all, even those who dont "know you." Thanks, you beautiful soul, and know you are loved. May you continue your healing. - Eric Columber, Maine, USA

Mr. Martino,

Every since my teen years when I stumbled on to jazz, your music has been among my favorites. I play your music often. I pray for your health as I do for the health of the world right now in these challenging times.

Mr Pat, you are, and always were, a musician beyond category. A pioneer, a guide stone for generations of people in many cultures who resonate to the sound of improvisational music. Many thanks for being you, and giving so freely of your gift.

We have been following these top-of-the-world P.M years, a player whose music, like some other jazzmen's, has become the guiding spirit, and more, of Presidents and Kings
Thank you for those last ... years, decades, of Pat Martino fun, freedom, democracy, and power.Here's a special blink from me whenever you need it, I know how much it has been you

Today Morning, my heart has broken when I heard the news of MY Guru, and Great Teacher of not only Jazz, but also of Music, of Life, sir Pat Martino is in severe health condition. I pray he will get better and overcome this difficulty as he did before. This is such an heart breaking news... I don't know what to say, I really enjoyed your latest album <Formidable>, and was hoping for the new following albums....
Let's pray for Pat Martino, who is the enlightment and the blessing for the Jazz society.

Love from Seoul
