My farther said pat was the all around best musician he has ever listened to. He passed away at the age of 82. Pats album was on his turntable. Thank you pat & your group.
Love this story, Rick. My dad also loved Pat and said he was the greatest guitarist of all time. Took me to see PMG in the 90s. As a young kid, I didn't understand the appeal and just wanted to listen to punk rock. As an adult, I now realize Pat's music was the soundtrack of my life growing up as it was always playing in the house and Pat is now my favorite artist ever, just as he was to my dad. May our fathers rest in peace :)
My wife & I took my parents to see PMG in 2005 during The Way Up tour. My dad was pretty much a classical music snob but on the way home after the concert he said that he could tell that Pat was a genius. I certainly agree with him & would add Lyle Mays to that category as well.
Usually giants do not grow but expand. But most of the change is in us: over time we develop a sensitive ear for the nuances of the giants and basically we learn the code... their courtship of us turns into a love story...
I met him backstage in august ‘22 here in Haugesund, Norway. He lent my Gibson ES 165 for two days to warm up before concert. He is a fantastic musician and a cool guy. He told me about his heritage her in Norway. His grandfather was norwegian. Nice.
Saw him a couple of weeks ago in concert in Missouri. So good. His tech handed me a guitar pick he'd used during the performance. The man is one of the greatest living musicians of this century.
J'ai eu le bonheur d'avoir aussi ce cadeau, Pat devant moi en acoustique, le plectre tombe sur scène , il me sera offert , depuis il orne mon Ibanez ..lorsque je joue il me fait un clin d'œil .

Beautiful! I discovered your (and Lyle's) music in the 1980's, and I won't stop loving it. I am 65 now and hope very much that you stay good for many more years.
So did I - early 80's. I'm 67 and still remember Pat Metheny's Group first concert in Warsaw, Poland after releasing "First Circle". And much more later on with Lyle and without. Always deeply touched and happy to listen to such music miracles.
I'm close to your sons age, 34, and I also grew up with Pat Metheny. Every time he's around I go see him play. It's been like 3-4 times already and never get tired of going to his shows.

@@ab1175 You don‘t get it. Bach already has over 250 years behind his death, and the cognoscenti _today_ cannot find second place anywhere near him even amongst the greats who have come since, be it Schumann, Chopin or Bruckner, or even Mozart, none of which Pat will ever hold a candle to. That said, I am a total fan of Metheny within Jazz and concur he will be remembered as a great one. Still, there are no objective criteria other than taste that make Kate Bush, Holdsworth or Lyle for that matter or the late Mark Hollis in many ways less important. It‘s not „people“, btw, or they would chose the likes of Rihanna.
That is such a subjective opinion. I personally love Pat butthink Herbie Hancock. changed music more than anyone. relit miles Davis's career who didn't understand him when they first met and had to record them and practice when they left. and the master bullshitter tried saying it was tony williams snare that threw him. not the complex harmonies Herbie was playing. paying him $50 a night saying. it's good money to practice in front of an audience. but seeing Pat solo gig. Made me think a lot as i was left dazed for a week. blew me away. was not expecting such a great life changing experience. was ill and very nearly didn't go. looking back that would of been a massive mistake. i forced myself into the shower and thought. once in a lifetime. couple of paracetamol. the gig actually healed me. felt 10 ft tall when i left and the adrenaline was beating the pain. seen herbie loads. this however probably my fav gig. and i've been fortunate enough to see the best still living. Pat is a special musician. full of ideas
This is Brazilian music in it essence. Mostly Minas music influences. I can hear Milton Nascimento, Toninho Horta, Guinga, João Bosco etc. He’s been drinking of that long time ago. It just makes it more beautiful. Thanks Pat!
My first time seeing Pat Metheny was the 80/81 Tour, and I have seen the majority of his US Tours since - in all his configurations. His improvisational approach as much as his tone and dynamism are what continues to excite me - a new Metheny release is such a welcome celebration of life.
God! Such soul uplifting Pat Metheny aural aesthetic that I have LOVED over the decades. Its reminiscent of some of his older stuff but also got a Beyond The Missouri Sky and One Quiet Night vibe to it. Love Pat Metheny and its a blessing he continues to make beautiful music. Although I'd love to hear some new stuff that sounds like his music from the 80s. I miss that Last Train Home and Bright Size Life kinda sound.
There is no light and there is only space. Everything is beautiful sound around me and it feels like I'm getting sucked into a black hole. It is so beautiful!
I've known Pat's music for all my life. My dad would always play his CDs when I was a toddler, specifically his work with in the PMG. That's left a big mark in my taste in music, I'm very thankful for knowing his music, and way more for having him to this day.
My mom was the one who brought music into my life, and about 40 years ago, we watched together a Pat Metheny concert on Swiss TV because she trusted my taste... she loved it! The music, the playing, the passion readable on Pat's face... Thank you forever for that moment Pat... I wish my mom was still around for me to see the reaction on her face to this inspiring piece ❤❤❤
Дякую, дуже дякую! Пет, Ваша музика підтримує і дає сили вірити в цей світ! З вдячністю, з України! Thank you, thank you very much! Pat, your music supports and gives strength to believe in this world! With gratitude, from Ukraine!

This new Pat Metheny acoustic track is a perfect balance of theme & improvisation. The motif mirrors the coming Lunar eclipse 🌑eclipse on March 25 2024!
This is actually distracting nearly to the point of being unlistenable for me. Nonetheless I agree it must be a feature not a flaw, given all the ways it could have been removed from the recording. And it’s been a feature on all his acoustic solo records for decades.
My wife is Not a jazz fan. But she has gone with me twice in the past 3 years to see Pat in concert, and loved every minute of it -- she was astounded. We just saw him solo in Meridian, MS. I almost drove to New Orleans to see the next show!
Thank you Pat Metheny, your songs will accompany me until the last day of my life and I hope even beyond this life with Lyle Mays. Blessings and thank you for singing and delivering this great work that you have done during all these years that you have accompanied me in the sorrows and joys of my life and God continue giving you energy to continue with this great legacy to the music of this planet an affectionate hug from Chile a humble servant THANK YOU For ever.
His ability to articulate not only his instruments but the way he speaks about neorscience and the brain interaction with music makes him brilliant , best musician alive today.
OMG!! New Pat! Literally, the soundtrack of my life. We’re basically the same age (I’m 9 months older) so I’ve been listening since Bright Size Life. I’ve seen him in concert and it’s always amazing. I’ve listened to a LOT of music and have truly varied tastes but Pat has really been the beat of my life.
Have heard him perform live many times in various formats including the brilliant, stunning Orchestrion tour. He is among my greatest inspirations as a player and this newest music speaks directly to my heart as my first guitar was a classical nylon stringer. He's a MASTER. I recall the day after a tour stop in my city, I anxiously read the review from the newspaper's critic, who I noticed was sitting behind me at the show...in his review he wrote "Pat Metheny must be the Michael Jordan of Guitar players". Great analogy!
I've been a fan since my mom turned me on to American Garage in 1979. I saw Pat last Fall at Royce Hall and he talked at length about this nylon-string baritone guitar. What a revelation it is! And now he's going for a deep dive with this lush, bluesy, grooving instrument. Sure hoping he comes through L.A. again before heading to Europe in the Fall.
The first time I saw Pat I was 16 years old, at the Palece Theater in Albany NY . I became a life long fan, so much so. That I am taking My two teenage boy to see him tonight at the Parker playhouse, in Ft.lauderdale
The Pat "seed" was sewn in me before I was into or appreciated jazz. I was 17 yrs in 1987 listening to classic rock when I first heard Pat. It just passed over my head, or so I thought, 32 years later I get it and so lucky I do. A late bloomer. Saw two shows this year and l can't wait for more.
The song should be called "Twists and Turns"....just when you think "I know where this is going", it doesn't. Part of Pat's genius I guess. I hear notes of Gershwin, some expansive chords, and of course, "Metheny jazz". Very pretty.
Hearing Pat Metheny play on The Boston Commons in late 80s was a revelation. No money teenagers from California. Sat outside in marvel as his music carried us all away. The kid from Brazil who spent all of his money on music cassette tapes, lived on Hersey bars and was set upon by angry frat boys for pilfering much needed old tennis shoes hanging high in a tree... he knew... that what Pat did was reverant... transcended time boundries and conditions. Never felt so richly alive in the world as that hot summer night. Gracias maestro.
Oh this one is strong! Has this emotional forward momentum and energy of Pat narrative but also beautiful space for thinking like The Way Up. I don't know if you feel the same , I hear this one played like those Pat Metheny Group stage orchestration storms that took our harts. Some great drummer is rushing through ride cymbals here in my head. I love it! Pat thank you! We love you so much!
Mr. Metheny…the vibration of your music is like no other. Excuse me for sounding sardonic but one of your tunes will be in my eulogy. May the frequencies of your elegant chords carry me to the next life I await reincarnate. Thank you for your musical talent and unwavering devotion to your passion.
Thanks for the new album, Pat! Your music has been extremely special and significant in my life since I was a teenager, so going on 45 years now. Hope to see you again on the next tour.
Hey Pat! 👋 Just wanted to drop a line to say I caught your concert in Atlanta, Georgia - what an incredible experience! You've been my inspiration since forever, so seeing you live was a dream come true. It was awesome sharing that moment with my mom and brothers too. Your solo performance was absolutely mind-blowing! 🎉 Thanks for being you. Seriously, you're the reason I fell in love with making music. Just wanted to let you know how much you mean to me. Hope our paths cross again someday. 😌✨🕊️
Dear Pat!! Thanks for your uplifting gem of music!!! I miss your keyboardist and piano partner Lyle Mays a lot. You both were a magical partnership in music!!. But this tune is also very beautuful!!!.
Just listened to this new release from Pat. Amazing stuff. Pat keeps right on creating more beautiful sounds. Keep on doing what you do Pat. And keep on touring please. I’ve seen you play live several dozen times since 1979. A new release and tours are always a highlight of the year. Excited to hear more of this one!
I had the Fortune to be present at one of their concerts back in the early 2000s and I would like to repeat the Experience again. Thank you for Being, now and always 🙏
Pretty nice tune. It is amazing how easily you can put it into The New Chautauqua and blend it with all those tones from 1978. Pat’s evolution as a musician has not taken major turns, except on the Pat Metheny Group, because he had Mozart next to him…
secret story had very little to no lyle. as did much of his more atonal work. I think pat stayed more conservatively prog lol within the pmg and experimented more outside of it. Just me, I not followed him religiously like i used to since the question and answer era passed. caught a lot of his output. not all.
My farther said pat was the all around best musician he has ever listened to. He passed away at the age of 82. Pats album was on his turntable. Thank you pat & your group.
He was right
Definitely one of thee best!

Pat is so expansive in his scope. Still miss his piano man though. Thinking of you always Lyle.❤❤❤
Easy to see now how much Lyle contributed to Metheny records.
@@JohnnyBeeDawg but still.., SideEye sounds a lot like PMG, way better than KIN but i sure do hear you though 😉
Yeah, Lyle was one in a million, nothing that man couldn't do musically!
Yes. So I miss Lyle Mays too...🥲
Lyle was a great pool player. Took pool playing just as great as he was on the keyboards. We miss you Lyle RIP.
I’ve seen a lot of bands in my 56 years; Pat Metheny Group was the most impressive artistic performance I’ve ever seen.
They were so incredibly musical and multi-dimentional. His post PMG solo outings don't have that quality.
Pat and Lyle were 2 of the best musicians who ever played together ❤
Yes, for sure.

"Pat Metheny and the Grateful Dead."
You did your son an incredible service.

Mr. Metheny…the vibration of your music is like no other. Excuse me for sounding sardonic but one of your tunes will be in my eulogy. May the frequencies of your elegant chords carry me to the next life I await reincarnate. Thank you for your musical talent and unwavering devotion to your passion.
Thanks for the new album, Pat! Your music has been extremely special and significant in my life since I was a teenager, so going on 45 years now. Hope to see you again on the next tour.
Pat Metheny is at his best when the bass is riffing off at beat 1 and 3! His music gets such a cool groove that he seems to love himself.
Great melodies. Poetic.
First Circle was my intro to Metheny’s genius…introduced it to my children and they their friends.
Forward March is a definitely a good start into a jolly life ;-)
Hey Pat! 👋 Just wanted to drop a line to say I caught your concert in Atlanta, Georgia - what an incredible experience! You've been my inspiration since forever, so seeing you live was a dream come true. It was awesome sharing that moment with my mom and brothers too. Your solo performance was absolutely mind-blowing! 🎉
Thanks for being you. Seriously, you're the reason I fell in love with making music. Just wanted to let you know how much you mean to me. Hope our paths cross again someday. 😌✨🕊️
언제나 좋은 음악 들려주셔서 너무 감사해요. 항상 건강하시길!
This is so cool. Cant say enough the tone, technique, composition, and production just so rich. You can actually hear him breathing during that outro.
Fantastic !!!
40 anni che ti ammiro….. grande Pat ❤
I was 17 when I heard Pat Metheny 'are you going with me 'I was mesmerized after that!
Beautiful sound - I'm waiting for the album
Dear Pat!! Thanks for your uplifting gem of music!!! I miss your keyboardist and piano partner Lyle Mays a lot. You both were a magical partnership in music!!. But this tune is also very beautuful!!!.
Don't stop the music!
I still feel and believe in the beauty and conscience of America through Pat Metheny’s music. Love from Japan
Awesome! Good to hear Pat Metheny again ! Nice and relaxing! I'm listening to him while I journal! So peaceful!!!!😊💯
We love you Pat, and missed Lyle ❤
🎉Pat Metheny is beautiful 🎉😊♥️
He has a Nice samba touch like tom Jobim ❤
Pat sube un tema, yo feliz. Lo escucho, y ya los primeros 30 segundos me vuelan la cabeza 🤯
Just listened to this new release from Pat. Amazing stuff. Pat keeps right on creating more beautiful sounds. Keep on doing what you do Pat. And keep on touring please. I’ve seen you play live several dozen times since 1979. A new release and tours are always a highlight of the year. Excited to hear more of this one!
Terminally lyrical; eternally striving. Yep.
Pat methany and his crew are incredible
What a new gift ...to jump out from the heavy fuel on the stage ...when compassion waves through our ears ...!!!
I had the Fortune to be present at one of their concerts back in the early 2000s and I would like to repeat the Experience again. Thank you for Being, now and always 🙏
So nice, just what I needed after a long day in the studio. 👍🏻❤️🥰
Balm for the soul, I like to listen to Pat on long highway drives❤
PM should stay on this line for the rest of his life
It's perfect
First half
Pretty nice tune. It is amazing how easily you can put it into The New Chautauqua and blend it with all those tones from 1978. Pat’s evolution as a musician has not taken major turns, except on the Pat Metheny Group, because he had Mozart next to him…
secret story had very little to no lyle. as did much of his more atonal work. I think pat stayed more conservatively prog lol within the pmg and experimented more outside of it.
Just me, I not followed him religiously like i used to since the question and answer era passed. caught a lot of his output. not all.
I appreciate the end where I have at least an outside chance of learning...the rest was just so ridiculous and insanely great!
NEW TUUUUUUUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
