Review

Down Beat (11/97, p.50) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...IMAGINARY DAY unequivocally triumphs....Metheny and his cohorts...explore a fresh compositional soundscape flavored with a variety of musical influences ranging from Indonesian gamelan to Iranian folk..."

Title Note

Pat Metheny Group: Pat Metheny (acoustic & electric guitars, synthesizer); Steve Rodby (cello, acoustic & electric basses); Lyle Mays (piano, keyboards); Paul Wertico (drums).

Additional personnel: David Blamires (vocals, acoustic & electric baritone guitars, violin, mellophone, recorder, trumpet); Mark Ledford (vocals, trumpet, flugelhorn, bass trumpet); Mino Cinelu, David Samuels, Glen Velez, Don Alias (percussion).

Recorded at Right Track Recording, New York, New York in Spring 1997.

IMAGINARY DAY won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance. "Follow Me" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. "The Roots Of Coincidence" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

On IMAGINARY DAY the Pat Metheny Group is joined by percussionists Mino Cinelu, David Samuels, Glen Velez, and Don Alias, along with vocalist/trumpeter Mark Ledford and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist David Blamires. The 9 song titles suggest a programmatic journey, from the title cut through "Into the Dream" to "Across the Sky" and "The Awakening." The tunes include exotic Arabic flavorings along with the Brazilian and Western sounds that the band has been using for some time. The album's artwork gives the impression of modern heiroglyphics, not a bad analogy for the music itself. "The Heat of the Day" features some especially inspired ensemble work, with Glen Velez playing an exotic percussion instrument known as the "riq." "The Roots of Coincidence" transforms a Steve Reich-like background figure into, alternately, an 80's Brit-rock beat, a hip-hop groove and an extended fusion guitar jam.
