New Pat Metheny album reminds me of this exchange I had in the 90s

Me: Ever hear of Pat Metheny?

Friend: Yeah, he’s like Jerry Garcia if Jerry never tried drugs

Still makes me chuckle.

@chopaganda @chris I like his compositional skill/improvising but sometimes it feels like his improvisations were born out of a lab. This is especially true in the live setting. I’m going to listen to this recording though! Thanks for sharing.

@LittleTokyo @chopaganda @chris i love that pat metheny is a through-line in jazz from wes montgomery but agree his modern output can be a bit sanitized. conversely, this early-career track drips with melody and feeling and would be a desert island type tune for me. open.spotify.com/track/50viXdC

@justinbruce @LittleTokyo @chopaganda @chris he’s always been a guitarist I’ve really enjoyed although yes, some more recent output is pretty mid. Always really liked him as a backing musician (the whole band is made up of heavy hitters, including Jaco on bass) in this Joni Mitchell concert, which isn’t on many people’s radar.
