East
East or Orient is one of the four cardinal directions or points of the compass. It is the opposite direction from west and is the direction from which the Sun rises on the Earth. Etymology As in other languages, the word is formed from the fact that east is the direction where the Sun rises: ''east'' comes from Middle English ''est'', from Old English ''ēast'', which itself comes from the Proto-Germanic *''aus-to-'' or *''austra-'' "east, toward the sunrise", from Proto-Indo-European *aus- "to shine," or "dawn", cognate with Old High German ''*ōstar'' "to the east", Latin ''aurora'' 'dawn', and Greek ''ēōs'' 'dawn, east'. Examples of the same formation in other languages include Latin oriens 'east, sunrise' from orior 'to rise, to originate', Greek ανατολή anatolé 'east' from ἀνατέλλω 'to rise' and Hebrew מִזְרָח mizraḥ 'east' from זָרַח zaraḥ 'to rise, to shine'. '' Ēostre'', a Germanic goddess of dawn, might have been a personificati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Martino was already developing his own sound and is in excellent form... It's a good example of Pat Martino's playing in his early period".Yanow, SAllmusic Review Retrieved April 2, 2013 The authors of the ''Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings'' wrote: "''East!'' offers some of Martino's clearest and most articulate soloing against a straightforward rhythm section."
