"Think Tank is the title for my latest release on Blue Note Records, due to be out sometime in October of this year. The digital composite is a collage containing three separate elements. The first is a version of the 12 point star with the addition of fingering constellations faded and superimposed upon the background of a digital painting of mine originally titled ' A Folded Kiss '. The collage continued on a suggestion of Donofrio's to contain them within an interesting version of a Buckminster Fuller pentahedron, gaining more dimension through the use of gradients and contrast.
Think Tank doesn't end there. Although the song itself is similar to a standard minor blues, its construction was odd comparatively. The topic for the motif is drawn from three words. Coltrane, Tenor and Blue. Their transfer into melodies came from the interface of the English Alphabet and the Aeolian Mode, which in itself is a mirror image of the first seven letters of that alphabet , A to G, continuously repeated from H to Z. The placement of the tones, phrasing and chord changes were improvised."
---Pat Martino
Pat Martino's fourth album for Blue Note evolved into something he had not planned. "The majority of this project became a dedication to John Coltrane," says the guitarist. "I never gave any conscious thought to it but the Trane references emerged time and time again. With that surfacing throughout the recording, making the album taught me a lot about myself and my interests."
Think Tank was recorded during three days at Sony Recording Studio in Manhattan with tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Lewis Nash. "Before this album I'd only played with Christian McBride with the Philadelphia Experiment but I've known Joe and Lewis for some time now. This was my first encounter with Gonzalo though I'd known of him. It's a great band."
While his Grammy nominated 2001 Blue Note release Live At Yoshi's perfectly depicts Martino's status as guitarist supreme in the organ trio format, Think Tank portrays Martino investigating compositional possibilities in search of self knowledge and uniformity, themes that well position him in the lineage of Coltrane. |
