Pat Metheny Group/Kanagawa,Japan 1981

This is a must-have title for fans, containing all the songs from a rare broadcast recording of a live performance at the Prefectural Hall in Yokohama on December 1st, which was part of the world tour that also served as a promotion for the release of the album “Off Ramp”. The live stage, featuring new members Steve Rodby on bass and Nana Vasconcellus on percussion, is fuller and more creative, drawing you in. The original source is an old cassette tape, so there is some tape hiss, but even with that out of the way, you can enjoy this valuable stereo recording.
