The Pat Metheny Songbook - A New Jazz Canon, Part 1

Click the play button to listen

This week we launch a series of episodes that, from time to time, we'll look at the work of contemporary jazz players as composers, rather than performers, from Tim Berne to Geri Allen, Bill Frisell, Carla Bley, John Zorn, Brad Mehldau and many more.

We are starting this series with Pat Metheny, the author of countless unforgettable compositions.

Happy listening!
