Pat Metheny Side Eye Pat Metheny/MA,USA 2021 Complete

After canceling his concerts for over a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Metheny, who loves live performances, has finally resumed his live activities in earnest! It’s so much fun to play live! How far will the guitar trio with Francis and Dyson evolve, with Metheny at the center, who pulls down his guitar like a fish in water? Come and listen! The long-awaited fourth live performance is here for the first time! The sound quality is also of the highest quality, independently obtained master! As those who have listened to the three titles already released, the live performance at The Wilbur Theater in Boston, Massachusetts on November 7, 2021 from the currently ongoing US tour, will know that this time, the fourth latest tour, a two-disc set that completely recorded over two hours until the encore, has been released in the highest quality stereo sound that has been carefully mastered by the label’s own independently obtained high-quality master, which is different from the sound sources circulating among collectors! ! The concert begins with a talk by Pat, who introduces James as one of the greatest drummers of our time, saying that he is like a visitor from another planet and that he has never met such a talent before, and starts with a duo performance of “Turnaround” with Dyson. Next, he performed “Have You Hard” as a duet with Frances, followed by “Bright Size Life”, “So It May”, “Better Days Ahead”, “Timeline”, “Always and Forever”, “Timeline”, “Trigonometry”, “Message to a Friend”, “Into the Dream”, “When We Were Free” instead of “Question and Answer” in Connecticut on the 6th, and an encore of “Acoustic Medley” including “Phase Dance”, “Minuano”, “This Is Not America”, and “Last Train Home”, as well as the killer “Are You Going With Me”. It was a raging development with Metheny’s representative songs popping out one after another in new arrangements. James and Dyson, who will be performing together this time, are black, and the songs that have been performed many times with different members so far sound somewhat black. Yes, cool. And of course Pat, but James and Dyson are also incredibly good. And they’re energetic. I felt like Pat’s worldview was being purified and reorganized. In the last three years, Pat played acoustic and tranquil music in his regular quartet, but in this trio, he plays bluesy, tearful melodies with choking like an American rock guitarist, and plays aggressively using a guitar synth for the first time in a while, and it seems like he’s really enjoying playing with the trio. As for the two important members, James shows off his talents from a different dimension, from classical acoustic piano playing like Gwilym Simcock of the Metheny Quartet, to hot organ playing in the back of a gospel choir, to a bass-less trio, but he still needs a bass… He freely manipulates the synth bass. Dyson, the drummer, also features solos here and there, but even in the backing, he has a wild sense of rhythm and sensitivity, and his versatile beats, from 4 beats to samba to blues, and his outstanding technique, completely knock out the audience with his superb drumming. His approach is completely different from the drumming heard in previous jazz trios, and it is very fresh and interesting. But the groove is as expected. Together with Chris Dave, Mark Juliana, Nate Smith, Tony Austin, Rob Turner, and Marcus Gilmore, he is truly the pinnacle of modern jazz drumming.
