Pat Martino, Jazz Guitarist Who Overcame Amnesia, Dies at 77.
“Jazz is a way of life,” he said.
“It’s not an idiom of music.
Jazz is spontaneous improvisation.
If you ever leave your house with nowhere to go, and just walk for pleasure, observing and looking around, you’ll find that you improvise.”
And he did not consider himself a “guitar player,” he said, though he once did.
“I no longer view myself that way because I don’t want to be depersonalized by my instrument,” he said.
“I’m an observer of my environment, including the guitar; I see the guitar in everything.”

In his autobiography, he described the process of recovering the ability to play.
“As I continued to work out things on the instrument,” he wrote, “flashes of memory and muscle memory would gradually come flooding back to me — shapes on the fingerboard, different stairways to different rooms in the house.
