Pat Metheny/MA,USA 2018

After finishing their European tour in June, the Pat Metheny Quartet returned to their home country of the United States and held a four-day warm-up concert in August. The US/Canada tour that concludes 2018 begins on September 26th at the Lebanon Opera House. The famous performance that has become a hot topic at Beverly on the 5th day of this year’s culmination of the tour has already appeared in the highest quality sound! ! ! A large-scale US/Canada tour to mark the end of 2018 has finally begun. Two and a half years have passed since the start of the New Quartet, which can be called a new challenge for Pat Metheny, who started in Japan, and the song of the Duo Corner, which also served as the introduction of the members, has changed, and the group has entered a new dimension. The latest live show, which lets you hear the quartet’s solid sound, was performed at the Cabot Theater in Beverly, Massachusetts on September 30, 2018, and the delicate movements of Sanchez’s drums were clearly mastered using the label’s own careful mastering. A 2-disc set with over 2 hours of complete recording in the highest quality stereo sound has arrived! ! ! A special “Pat Metheny Group” as the start of Metheny’s career. Following groups such as Secret Story and Unity, which were derived from PMG as the core (template), this time they have an unplugged version of PMG, and have a refreshing (electric) sound that further refines the freshness that is Metheny’s true essence. The acoustic sound (even though it’s a guitar) is pleasant, and Metheny’s guitar sound has a deeper depth as he is inspired not only by Sanchez, who is Metheny’s right-hand man, but also by the up-and-coming young Linda and Simcock (both acoustic only) who are bringing a breath of fresh air. Metheny and his quartet began a new journey. Compared to last year’s live show, not only is the overall sound thicker and more solid, but the improvisation of each member, including Metheny, has been further refined, and they have grown in both directions. quartet. By the way, from this U.S./Canada tour, the words “An Evening with Pat Metheny” that had been going on since 2017 have disappeared, and it seems that it has been simply written as the Pat Metheny Quartet, as it was performed at the concert. Is this proof that the perfectionist Metheny has finally given the young elite a passing grade? Live at Cabot Theatre,Beverly,MA September 30 2018 Disc-1 1. Pikasso 2. So it May Secretly 3.
