Pat Metheny Side-Eye III / VA, USA 03.19.2026

Pat Metheny, who continues to lead the contemporary jazz and fusion world, explores the chemical reactions with a new generation of musicians through his “Side-Eye” project. Now, the latest evolution of this project, “SIDE-EYE III+”, presents a live recording from the Paramount Theatre in Charlottesville in 2026. In this work, Metheny’s overwhelming guitar work, which has reached a state of maturity, is exquisitely blended with the keen sensibilities and bold approaches unique to the younger generation. Lyrical melodies, ever-changing improvisations, and even rock-like dynamism come together to vividly portray the current Pat Metheny. Metheny’s expressive power, freely manipulating everything from acoustic to synth guitar, is breathtaking, and the content allows listeners to enjoy both the lyricism that will impress longtime fans and the experimental spirit that looks towards the future. New interpretations of his representative songs and thrilling extended performances are also highlights, and this is a condensed version of the sonic world that only “the current Metheny” could have reached. More than just a live recording, this is one of the most important live recordings of 2026, a package that captures a dialogue that transcends generations. A must-have title for listeners who want to experience a new chapter in Pat Metheny’s career.
