Pat Metheny Group/MI, USA 1984

Enthusiasts are drooling over the world tour that accompanied the release of “First Circle,” the last album on the ECM label in 1984, and the live performance held at Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan in December, recorded in high quality from broadcast sources. A title has appeared. This is a live recording of the precious time when we were on the verge of saying goodbye to ECM and entering the Geffen era, and the performance shows Pat Metheny’s motivation. The participation of Pedro Aznar, a multi-player from South America, will add depth to the sound and open the door to a new world of Metheny, making it a spectacular live performance. The most important thing is the sound quality, but since it is based on the excavated broadcast sound source, you can listen to it with confidence and it has become a new standard title for enthusiasts.
