Pat Metheny is a phenomenal jazz guitar player, an equally incredible composer, improviser and all-round musician. From the early 1970s and while still in his teens, Metheny began to gain exposure as a member of vibraphonist Gary Burton’s band, on fledgling recordings with bass virtuoso Jaco Pastorius and as the youngest lecturer to teach at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.
From that point to this, Metheny’s career has been staggeringly fruitful, as a band leader with the Pat Metheny Trio and Pat Metheny Group – in collaboration with artists such as Michael Brecker, Ornette Coleman, Brad Mehldau, John Scofield, and Chris Potter, as a sideman for Joni Mitchell, Joshua Redman, Bruce Hornsby, and many more – and a solo performer, with ambitious, groundbreaking projects such as his Orchestrion Project and on his solo acoustic album, One Quiet Night.
