Pat Metheny Artist Snapshot:

Jazz guitar innovator Pat Metheny first appeared in the mid-'70s as a prodigy in Gary Burton's band, and soon thereafter he was leading his own group. He is among the few jazz artists who've become household names--his music has appeal well beyond the typical jazz audience, yet his artistic integrity is unquestionable, and he has used his success to pursue many less-commercial side projects. Ever the explorer, Metheny has been a pioneer of the guitar synthesizer, a champion of the avant garde, and a unifier of musical styles, incorporating rock, folk, world music, and even country influences into his unique musical paradigm.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (2/11/00, p.75) - "...his guitar-diety status remains intact...Metheny indulges in straight...jazz mode, and the airwaves are better for it...clever as it is musical." - Rating: B+
CMJ (2/28/00, p.33) - "...Metheny creates a mesmerizing, straight-ahead album that spotlights every component of Methany's familiar guitar style..."
Down Beat (8/00, pp.69-70) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Wide open form interpretation and improv....The air is fresh here, and Metheny and his significantly younger bandmates give themselves plenty of breathing room..."
JazzTimes (5/00, p.118) - "...A master of melodic improv, Metheny spews endless streams of ideas at all tempos...flowing over the bar line with that perfect yin-yang of total command and complete abandon....A stellar trio date...one remarkable guitarist."

Title Note

Pat Metheny Trio: Pat Metheny (guitar); Larry Grenadier (acoustic bass); Bill Stewart (drums).

Recorded at Right Track Recording, New York, New York in August 1999.

"(Go) Get It" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.

For this set, Pat Metheny once again took time out of his busy schedule as a contemporary jazz superstar to take a straight-ahead trio into the studio for a day of casual blowing. Like his other previous efforts in this vein, QUESTION AND ANSWER and REJOICING, Metheny gets back to what he does best and lets it all hang out with partners Larry Grenadier and Bill Stewart. What's most impressive is that there was never any intent to make a record; it was merely a set-up-and-play atmosphere when these three virtuosos grabbed a couple of days to enjoy the act of making great music together.

From the outset it is obvious that Metheny came to play his best as he sets the music ablaze with the opening burner "(Go) Get It." Stewart and Grenadier are the perfect match for Metheny's legendary musicianship as the trio covers a wide range of stylistic extremes, from the acoustic nebula of "Just Like The Day" to Wayne Shorter's harmonically offbeat "Capricorn." Metheny even covers himself with a fiery reading of his previously recorded gem "Lone Jack" and the unforgettably melodic "Travels." Of special note is the trio's slow and groovy take on the Coltrane classic "Giant Steps."
