Pat Metheny Side Eye Pat Metheny/NY,USA 2021

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! He just loves playing live! How far will the guitar trio of Metheny, Francis, and Dyson, who are as lively as fish in water, evolve? Come and listen! The long-awaited latest live performance, the second installment is already here! The sound quality is also of the highest quality, obtained exclusively from a master! As you know, the live performance at the Patchogue Theater for the Performing Arts in New York on November 14, 2021, from the currently ongoing US tour of Side Eye, where two talented newcomers and master Metheny play an amazing triangle, and the live performance in Connecticut on the 6th, this is a two-disc set that has been completely recorded over two hours up to the encore in high-quality stereo sound with careful mastering by the label, which is different from the sound sources circulating among collectors this time. The second installment of the latest tour has already arrived! ! The concert begins with Pat’s talk, and Dyson says that he is one of the greatest drummers of our time, and that James is like a visitor from another planet. He introduces that he has never met such a talent before, and starts with a duo “Turnaround” with Dyson. Next, he performed “Have You Heard” as a duet with Frances, followed by “Bright Size Life”, “So It May”, “Better Days Ahead”, “Timeline”, “Always and Forever”, “Zenith Blue”, “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 in the past sounded somewhat black. 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.
