Synopsis

Legendary jazz guitarist Pat Martino underwent brain surgery that saved his life but erased all memory, emotion, and the ability to play. There he should have remained, yet after years in the wilderness, he came back with such astonishing power and artistry as to bring into question all the known medical facts. Neuropsychologist Paul Broks explores the mysteries of memory, self, and creativity underlying the human condition. Martino provides the sublime soundtrack.
