O’s Notes: Veteran guitarist Pat Martino assembles an all-star quartet for Undeniable, a live set at Blues Alley in D.C. Tony Monaco mans the B3 with Eric Alexander on sax and Jeff “Tain” Watts keeping time. They waste no time getting to business as Pat cooks on “Lean Years”. Monaco steps up on “Going To A Meeting” and Alexander tempers the fire with Marino on” Double Play” delighting the crowd. They plays lots of blues with Martino sizzling all the way leading to a session that keeps you engaged all the way through.
