In 2007, composer, arranger and performer Richard Niles wrote, produced and hosted a three-part radio series for the BBC titled Pat Metheny Bright Size Life. The in-depth discussions Niles held with Metheny for the series covered all aspects of the renowned musician who has revolutionized both the guitar and jazz music--from Methenys first realization of his affinity for music to his wisdom accrued from years of dedicated musicianship.
This book simply transcribes those and other interviews Niles conducted with Metheny over time. And since its not structured nor does it read like a standard musician bio or treatise, its a surprisingly easy read, without sacrificing detail for brevity.
