Pat Metheny Sumida Triphony Hall Tokyo, Japan May 27 & 28, 2025 The announcement of Pat Metheny's 2025 Japan Solo Tour arrived unexpectedly, thrilling fans.

Given the tour's profound impact and its extensive run from Sapporo to Osaka, many speculated that Metheny might not return ...

Pat Metheny Sydney Opera House Vivid LIVESydney, Australia June 1, 2025 Pat Metheny once again took the stage at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall for Vivid LIVE. However, unlike his previous performance in Sydney in 2020 at the State Theatre this show was to be a one-man band. This solo appearance filtered out some of the die-hard fans who would have come for the pyrotechnics of a Metheny Group performance and ...

Brilliant ECM Luminessence Series Shines New Light On Classic Vinyl

Read "Brilliant ECM Luminessence Series Shines New Light On Classic Vinyl" reviewed by Joshua Weiner


Blue Note. Verve. Impulse! ESP-Disk. Just saying the name of such storied jazz record labels immediately conjures up each one's distinct aesthetic, from the music to the cover art. By the close of the 1960s, jazz was undergoing a period of intense change, with an unprecedented mixing and matching of styles and influences--both musical and political--that shuffled the deck and led labels to chase new markets. Blue Note and Impulse! got funky, Verve signed underground rock artists, ESP-Disk treaded water, ...

Pat Metheny: MoonDial

Read "MoonDial" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


MoonDial, l'album appena pubblicato alla vigilia del settantesimo compleanno di Pat Metheny, è un altro lavoro realizzato in solitudine, come il precedente Dream Box uscito un anno fa, ma a differenza di quello è stato registrato senza fare ricorso a sovraincisioni, e utilizzando solamente una chitarra baritono. Questo fatto lo collega direttamente ai precedenti lavori solistici One Quiet Night del 2003 e What's It All About del 2011, per i quali aveva utilizzato uno strumento costruito appositamente per lui dalla ...

Pat Metheny: Bright Size Life

Read "Bright Size Life" reviewed by Chris May


Reissued as part of ECM's 180gm-vinyl audiophile Luminessence series, Bright Size Life was originally released in 1976 and features Pat Metheny leading his then regular touring trio completed by bassist Jaco Pastorius and drummer Bob Moses. It is a lively and lovely album and rediscovering it should be a delightful experience for anyone who has perhaps left it on the shelf for a few years, particularly delightful given the latest edition's sonic splendor. Metheny himself has long ...
