Pat Metheny: Pulling It All Together
by Lawrence Peryer
As the 1970s came to a close, guitarist Pat Metheny was riding high on a wave of well-received albums, from his self-named Group and Trio and as a contributor to works by vibraphonist Gary Burton, bassist Jaco Pastorius and others.

Catching Up With e.s.t.'s Dan Berglund and Magnus Ostrom
by Renato Wardle
The tragic death of pianist Esbjörn Svensson in the summer of 2008 brought to a close the 12-year run of one of the most prolific and brilliant piano trios in recent years.

His saint-like humility reflects a gentle and wise creative spirit; his music and poetry are a mirror into the human condition. ...

More than three years of musical life--from the final Blue Note sessions of April-May 1968 to the release of Science Fiction on Columbia in 1972--remain shrouded in mystery and obscurity. Every recording made under Coleman's ...
