Watch Pat’s almost 2 hour interview with @rickbeato1 where he discusses well…Everything Music! [Link in Bio]
Today the @librarycongress librarian Carla Hayden named ‘Bright Size Life’ among 25 selections as audio treasures worthy of preservation for all time based on their cultural, historical or aesthetic importance in the nation’s recorded sound heritage. #NatRecRegistry “The National Recording Registry will preserve our history through these vibrant recordings of music and voices that have reflected our humanity and shaped our culture from the past 143 years,” Hayden said. “We received about 900 public nominations this year for recordings to add to the registry, and we welcome the public’s input as the Library of Congress and its partners preserve the diverse sounds of history and culture.” The recordings most recently selected for the National Recording Registry bring the number of titles on the registry to 575, representing a small portion of the national library’s vast recorded sound collection of nearly 3 million items.
PAT METHENY SIDE-EYE WORLD TOUR 2021-2022 w/ James Francies & Joe Dyson 🎟 link in bio ‘SIDE-EYE NYC (V1.IV)’ Out Sept 10 Pre-Order Now
PAT METHENY’S NEW ALBUM ROAD TO THE SUN DUE OUT MARCH 5, 2021 AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW! [Link in Bio] FIRST EXCERPT ROAD TO THE SUN, PART 2 IS AVAILABLE NOW There are only a handful of living musicians who can continually reinvent themselves year after year, and even fewer still who can claim to have maintained equal degrees of innovation and sheer excellence across a career spanning decades. Pat Metheny is one of the few artists in the world who can lay claim to such a description. Road To The Sun is yet another unexpected and genre-defying new recording from the 20 time Grammy winning guitarist/composer Pat Metheny. This recording features two major extended works for classical guitar. Road To The Sun is performed by the legendary @laguitarquartet and performing Pat’s new solo guitar piece, Four Paths of Light is Grammy winning virtuoso, @jasonvieauxguitar . “I am blown away by this new (Metheny) composition every time we play it. Such beautiful melodic and harmonic flow! Although his fans will recognize it as undeniably Metheny, he develops his thematic material so skillfully that the average concert-goer will get lost in his world. A soundscape of epic proportions.” – Scott Tennant (Los Angeles Guitar Quartet) “Whenever an artist of Pat’s significance writes not only a substantial work, but a piece that requires real virtuosity to perform it (and has his musical imprint all over it), it’s a big moment for classical guitar.” -Jason Vieaux

New Recording: SIDE EYE NYC (V1.IV) Available Today The Long-Awaited Pat Metheny SIDE-EYE World Tour Begins September 15 [Link in Bio] Pat Metheny has released SIDE-EYE NYC (V1.IV) today, the recording debut of his SIDE-EYE trio project featuring the 20-time GRAMMY winner accompanied by a handpicked and rotating selection of, as he puts it, “newer generation musicians who have particularly caught my interest along the way.” Throughout SIDE-EYE NYC’s eight compositions, Metheny completely reinvents his classics including “Better Days Ahead” and “Timeline” alongside brand new and characteristically genre-defying work revealed for the first time. For a song like “Timeline,” which Metheny originally recorded with fellow icons Michael Brecker and Elvin Jones, hearing 26-year-old pianist/organist/keyboardist James Francies and 34-year-old GRAMMY- winning drummer Marcus Gilmore give their innovative interpretations provides an exhilaratingly fresh perspective.“It’s a very natural and organic thing for me to play with them,” says Metheny. “They have literally grown up listening to the recordings and playing these compositions from their beginnings, just as I did with many of the folks that I eventually wound up playing with.”
Listen to Brand New Excerpt “Four Paths of Light (Pt 2)”Composed by Pat and Performed by @jasonvieauxguitar. In collaborating with Jason Vieaux, Metheny joins with a guitarist who “has been one of my favorite musicians from the first moment I heard him,” adding that Vieaux “excels at playing passages that border on being technically impossible.” New Album ‘Road To The Sun’ is Due Out March 5 Stream and Pre-Order Links in Bio
