Eddie Martinez: CC #61 Behind the scenes with the sessions guitar king

April 8, 2016 Here we are once again at World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation. I’ve interviewed thousands of people and I’ve never met one more gracious than the guy who joins us today. You have heard Eddie Martinez guitar on dozens upon dozens of big hits. From Mick Jagger to Robert Palmer…yes that was him crunching “Addicted to Love.” He was one of the premier session guitarists when he lived in New York. He still gets calls but he’s been a Portlander for a long time now. Ever wonder what goes on in those sessions? And how session players have to be part chameleon and part singular artists? He has a new album in the works, too. We’ll find out.
