A Trio of Pat Metheny Group Reissues
by John Kelman
Why artists and/or record labels choose to release remastered versions of pre-existing material can range from the purely artistic to the shamelessly monetary. Sometimes it's a case of getting material, previously out-of-print, back into the marketplace for people who, for whatever reason, didn't pick the material up the first time around. Sometimes the target audience is ...

Pat Metheny Group: The Way Up
by Eddie Becton
The Way Up marks guitarist Pat Metheny's debut release on the Nonesuch label.

by Mark Sabbatini
Pat Metheny hasn't exactly been on a roll lately. The guitarist typically alternates safe and daring work, satisfying mainstream hordes while reassuring purists he's still among the modern masters.

Pat Metheny Group: The Way Up
by Doug Collette
Titled with his customary forward-thinking optimism, The Way Up is Pat Metheny's first project for Nonesuch Records. For all its intricacy, this ambitious group endeavor, a single extended composition in four parts, brings to mind the earliest, and comparatively simpler, works of the guitarist composer when he first established a four-piece band under his own name ...
The Way Up
by John Kelman
Like him or not, the one thing you cannot accuse guitar icon Pat Metheny of is complacency. Over the course of his thirty-year career he has tackled everything from the Midwestern folk sensibility of New Chautauqua to the free-spirited interplay of his collaboration with Ornette Coleman, Song X. But as significant and diverse as his solo ...
