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.

Pat Metheny Auditorium Sala S. Cecilia Roma Jazz Festival Roma 4 novembre 2024 Il lungo tour (il primo in completa solitudine) di Pat Metheny, iniziato già lo scorso anno negli Stati Uniti in seguito alla pubblicazione del suo album di sola chitarra Dream Box (da cui il nome del tour), approda finalmente in Europa, con sei concerti in altrettante città Italiane, per accontentare anche i suoi fans d'oltreoceano.

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.

Blue Note and Impulse! got funky, Verve signed underground rock artists, ESP-Disk treaded water, ...

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 ...

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 ...
