Pat Metheny - Minuano

Pat Metheny at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2003 together with the Metropool Orchestra.

[@danielmcd1]

My son's marching band in 1996 played HAVE YOU HEARD, LETTER FROM HOME AND MINUANO in band competitions in Southern California, the west and nationally. They won most of their competitions because of their artistry, and this wonderful music that they performed brilliantly. Pat Metheny is an inspiration to all that love music. He is one of the all time greats I have ever heard. This music penetrates my soul and it makes my cry it is so beautiful. There is nothing like it!

[@cindipossidento5688]

I agree with you ……. Even if I have heard a tune 50 times, tears are still streaming down my face …. Good lord !!!!!

[@93Bohnam]

Pat metheny is probably one of the most un-celebrated guitarists yet he is one of the best! pure genius, no-one plays like him. I listen to his music everyday and i'm only 16.

[@SusanJohnson-xl3ys]

Now that your 29, do you still listen to PMG? Lyle did some wonderful music,with his musicians and solo before he died. That was a terrible loss. I think there’s a point in life the death of folks you know and those you don’t personally know, but it leaves a hole in the world. Maybe it’s because I am old. I’ve listened to these guys since about 1978. The first time I saw Pat, he was touring with Joni Mitchell and he played her song Amelia. I was hooked. I was also and still am a Joni fan. My best to you SCJ

[@jonashormann5700]

@@SusanJohnson-xl3ys I'm 26 and I feel the hole you're talking about that Lyle left behind. I really enjoy his own music but also the contributions he made to the PMG.

[@AJ-Bruno]

Pat is the most celebrated. And not probably.

[@pierretteplumejeau2891]

Ça je le sais depuis très longtemps , c’est hélas pourquoi il m’ignore .

[@gtrs4life]

I've had the fortune to see him live 4 times. He is consistantly great. A living legend such as him will never let you down! You simply must catch him soon at any cost! He is still young, but not that young!

[@freedok]

In 200 years from now Pat will be remembered as one of the great guitarists and composers of our era. Equal to Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and so on.

[@lincolnharris2598]

If it's 20 yes that is a testimony to his genius!

[@ThePragmo]

This song makes me want to cry and Pat performs like he is praying. This is really spiritual stuff.

[@gtrs4life]

All of Metheny's work is perfection, from his melodies to the harmony and structure. It is no wonder itunes has a radio channel dedicated entirely to Metheny's work. As far as I know, the only station exclusive to a single artist.

[@BriMcF]

Imagine how it's like to be Pat Metheny. Think about how it must feel to be able to write such a masterpiece. The looks on his face kinda seems as if he says "Wow, I wrote this. I actually wrote this. Go Me!!!" Kudos, Metheny and the Metropoole Orchestra.

[@ricardoenena]

THIS MUSIC IS LIKE THE CLOCK TIC TACKING THROUGH THE LIFE THAT PASSES WITHOUT A FILTER IN THE HEART, EXPLODING IN THE MIND, ERUPTING SOME TEARS THAT WASHES OUR LONELY FACES. THEN ECLODES INTO RITMIC HAPINESS. LIKE RECRIATING DREAMS FORM THE WRECK. ENDING ON A VITORIOUS PLAN.

[@nitabeeta223]

+TEOMANIA Santos yeah----what you said.

[@MirjanaStefanovic]

+TEOMANIA Santos so well written...

[@xaviercidpla3989]

TEOMANIA Santos it's a brutal crescendo which energy takes you to an other emotional dimension

[@xaviercidpla3989]

TEOMANIA Santos nice description

[@andreawise8151]

if it wasn't for this song, I may have never known jazz. anytime I'm down, this is a need.

[@marcelobenitezabc]

metheny is one of the most brilliant musicians EVER

[@genolatinoiii]

Pat Metheny won't be truly recognized for the genius he is unfortunately, until he has passed on.

[@matt8637]

His guitar sounds like underwater noises, dolphins or whales speaking to one another. Such a great sound.

[@Gene8492]

I've heard this live, on CD and never thought it could get any better. I was wrong. The orchestra just put it over the top. I'd love to see him play with a full symphony, or should I say hear him. My eyes would fill with tears of joy so I'd probably would only be able to hear this master at work. This song will live forever as one of my favorite PMG tunes. I have leaking eyes right now.

[@jome3206]

Pat Metheny actually seems like a pretty humble musician. He's a great artist! I'd love to see him live.

[@raj2tennis]

I love this tune. Why can't people be like this?

[@MushuPork13]

My jazz band played the version of this that Bob Curnow arranged. It is SPECTACULAR. One of my favorite songs of all time.

[@yoyogi80000]

This brings me to the good old days.

[@walterdwilliams]

If I had never heard this song before, and this was the only version available, my first reaction would be: genius.

[@scientifico]

Pat metheny just made me eyes tear up (no homo). Excellent musician. Desrt island tracks. (saw him at a Roots concert many years back. He's a fan of all kinds of music!

[@johnwallace3449]

THIS IS AND THE WAY MUSIC SHOULD BE HEARD. LIVE. AND WITH ARTISTS THAT TRULY WANT TO MAKE YOU PART OF IT. LOOK AT THE CAMERAS IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE LOOK ON THE PEOPLE'S FACES. TRULY GIFTED.

[@LAJE2000]

One of my all time favorite jazz song. Gives me chills and most definitely lives up to its name.

[@Vejur9000]

There’s a language to Pat Metheny’s guitar, that is universal. It cuts right through you. Musical genius of highest order is Pat Metheny. Like Stevie, Pat was born with the happiness gene.

[@raktvk]

Metheny is brilliant. He is a master on the lines of Mozart, Bach. HIGHLY spiritual music! One the most ecstatic experiences of my life..... a concert in 1994.

[@GoD_GoT_Me]

Best Song Ever Created In The History of Time!!!

[@theMamboDVS]

This gives me some serious Spring/Summer nostalgia. I have no idea how, but it just does. My absolute favorite Metheny tune. Mind you, from 1:30 the clarinets give it a dark sound. I love it! Oh! And you know the orchestra must've loved this piece. How excited did the trumpets get here? 5:24 Of course, Pat gives a nod of approval after that. :D

[@allmight9227]

Think you may have forgotten about a certain train of certain finality.

[@tiluriso]

IMHO it is up there along w/ 'The Ones': 'The First Circle', 'Third Wind', 'Last Train Home', 'Are You Going With Me?', 'San Lorenzo', 'Phase Dance', 'Cross The Heartland'.

[@lreaves777]

Life in this world is a better reality with the colossal talent of Pat Metheny!

[@gtrs4life]

I can't stop watching this. It is a spectacular event. He is simply the greatest. It is difficult to decide on a favorite composition of Metheny's. They are all so brilliant. He is a true genius. Perhaps that is why he wears the same shirt in every performance throughout the years so as to not expend any thought energy regarding fasion, but rather, in his music - the very thing that he is!

[@silversurfer65]

I simply "LOVE" this composition! It is second to none, in a class unto itself, with a Spiritual essence that transcends any and all worldly concerns! Bravo to the chef for cooking up this masterpiece!

[@luisalbertodiazyubero5382]

Una mención al coautor de esta magnífica pieza, otro genio: Lyle Mays

[@alijahoscar5741]

instablaster...

[@cousindave7122]

I have been listening intently to the awe-inspiring genius of Pat Metheny for the past 40+ years! Is there a more talented musician on the PLANET!? Pat Metheny is, in my mind, an unparalleled composer, performer, innovator and band leader whose depth of talent may never be reached. Does the man ever sleep? If he isn't performing in a new configuration of top-notched modern musicians then you might find him working on the next phase of his Orchestrion project.

[@diamond21450]

Hi David, Guess who i saw last week at Ronnie Scotts? It was a birthday present from my girlfriend, My brain is still numb with seeing live, up front close and in full view. he does not a day older than before, amazing fantastic a one off genius perfect,

[@franzfigueracello]

Lyle Mays maybe..

[@calmdeepwater]

Du hast alles gesagt! Diese Darbietung ist (für mich) eine der Besten! Dazu mit einem vollem Orchester! Pat Metheny ist schon außergewöhnlich ... gut! Ich vergaß! ;-) Travels - keine Andere! Hiervon gehen wir aus!

[@cindipossidento5688]

Same for me.... 40 years!!! Wow I think that makes me old......... nahhhhh

[@annhewitt6271]

Youngest ever music professor at BerkeleyS hook of music in Boston

[@TruGank]

Since this is one of my favorites, I have played this song hundreds of times since 87 so my ears are very critical. Man I was completely aurally satisfied. What a damn fine orchestra. No comment about Pat needed.

[@guilhordas]

Pat is a genius

[@shieldsff]

this is the perfect PMG song to perform with orchestra- the full, rich , quality of the sound is stupendous ! I also remember that first album "As falls wichita..."- it's been years since I heard it and would really like to hear the entire thing again. Thanks for your comments

[@richardsonjarmon2778]

so peaceful I could pay this kind of music a day with the sun set . just keep it coming

[@michaeljenkins8635]

The North Sea is one of the best Jazz festivals I've seen! I must say so is the Metropool Orchestra!

[@Stevn8er]

Once again, Metheny and the group achieve that brilliant intangible which great music has always managed to - the ability to elevate the spirit to the birthplace of miracles.

[@TheNidzoslav]

incredible song.... i was growing up with his songs.... excellent!!!!!!

[@TommyGriffithsVoice]

My face is soaked with tears...

[@rickjemmett7929]

Killer... rare to hear an orchestra play jazz with such conviction and cahones. The brass section beginning around 6:30 just nails it.

[@maxmex1967]

Rick Jemmett ciyihh

[@rickjemmett7929]

sorry maxmex1967... I'm old. I have no idea what ciyihh refers to...

[@dawnthomas5299]

absouloutly awe inspiring , God given and inspired is my believe . Pat , i adore your music , Thank you . I wish the world was was this musical vibration . love and peace to those that concur xxxx

[@RealDiaz]

Certainly if the world followed Pats vibration it would be a better place free from greed and corruption and all the shit

[@hocuspocusfocusable]

utterly fantastic...

[@rogerm2420]

Hi, there IS a musical and spiritual vibration out there Dawn. I'm responding to it. Thanks for letting me find your post. Bless. Peace and positive vibe to you and your folks. Roger

[@barryot]

This is so WONDERFUL!!! Pat Metheny is the BEST!!!!!!

[@davenota5886]

Pat is beyond awesome....job well done !

[@MrTrulac]

This is the best rendition of this song. Simply beautiful.

[@lovrboy670]

This is true art as its finest the picture painted with this arrangement moves like a story I wish this got the credit it deserves!

[@markustg09]

Wow. Wonderful version of this tune. Very powerful.

[@cindipossidento5688]

I think this is my favorite Metheny song..... and with an orchestra!!!!! BRAVO !! Love you Pat !!!🥰👏💋

[@alainceleste]

This music breezes through my soul, making my every cells vibrate like leaves in a blowing wind. Thank you Pat, for every second of music you make is enough to make any of my days.

[@TempoRhythmRhyme]

The most AWESOME aspect of this performance is hearing the REAL orchestral instruments Lyle Mays was trying to emulate on his Fairlight. There's advantages to both, but it's always so nice to hear what's almost a forgotten/lost artform. It's especially WAAY KEWL when the horns do their build after the piano solo. The expression on Pat's face is PRICELESS. Almost as if he's screaming "Did you hear that Lyle? Now, I know what you were hearing.! WOW!"

[@silversurfer65]

I concur wholeheartedly!!! Certainly one of the BEST compos for this musical genre in decades. Splendidly devised musical foray !

[@davekinci]

I was about to write the same thing, but with less efficient words. Well put.

[@sandraeckelhofer]

asdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasd thanks for that!!!! as a matter of fact I was thinking to myself that the original Silver Surfer would never speak like that... not until he became the Platinum With Diamonds Surfer LOL so our guy must be the 50+ internet surfer kind. 65 to be precise? 👴🏻 👍🏻 I mean no offense 😘

[@FranzenPetra]

I was there and listening to it live with the orchesttra was magic

[@musiconlyplease98]

First time I heard Pat Metheny in 70s,.I said .Man this dude is great , I still think so.

[@milesfarnan9049]

i can not even begin to imagine how amazing it would be to play this with such amazing musicians...

[@KLOKFXR]

Bravo to this great performance. This Metropole Orkest is filled with scandanavian musicians who have their own followings as individual players. They are stars in the jazz community up there. Do a search on their names when they show them! LOL ya have to go back sometimes to get the spelling!!! But im glad these North Sea Jazz Festival clips are back YAAAAAY

[@nicarl05]

Grazie Pat! Meravigliosa orchestra! Emozione pura.

[@raycerro57]

what a fine performance,full orchestra to back Pat up. this is certainly the best possible version of minuando

[@misterfunnybones]

You spelled Minuano incorrectly, blasphemy!

[@Txotxocrazy4840]

Who could dislike this amazing music????? I don't really understand how people can enjoy listening to ''music'' like Reggaeton... Not even music but still horrible :( Pat Metheny best musician ever!!!!

[@sharongrant3946]

I love a world with Pat Methany and Reggaeton. Different sounds for different moments. Bless up!

[@TheBurrito171]

Some music is made to move to, and some is made to listen to.

[@jan-willemreens9010]

... Good day, I'm Dutch and I was there in The Hague in the summer of 2003 ... an incredible unforgettable evening concert of the (Pat)(Metropool)(Group) (lol) ...

[@diamond21450]

Just back from Ronnie Scotts in London, I saw Pat last night, oh my fucking god, what a artist! Just fucking AMAZING,

[@mathewreichardt3832]

Great venue to see him.

[@diamond21450]

Yes I am very lucky, thanks.

[@johnstewart8183]

Mark Kent Saw him in both London and DC. Nobody can match his talent.

[@courtneye146]

yes, and his band i tight as hell.

[@sundevilification]

Ronnie Scotts, no junk!

[@thiagorisingforce]

the best eight minutes of my life so far

[@TCJAZZ-MUSIC]

Pat Metheny and Metropool Orchestra are truly amazing Thank you for sharing this video.

[@miguelstoo]

One of the most incredible songs I have heard in my life. Thanks Mr. Metheny for your music.

[@roxanneivey]

Absolutely! The depth of his soul, particularly his passion and joy, is made even more evident in his interviews and live performances. And if you've ever seen him interact with fans, you know what true humility looks like.

[@EmersonMeyer33]

Metheny's guitar it's not the "protagonist" of the concert, there is no need for that. It's a prove of the geniality of Pat, a perfect, just perfect combination between his guitar and all the others instruments. Amazing.

[@garybreece-page7713]

Totally unique, totally brilliant, the most sublime tune, what a genius

[@lytebassist]

Who ever orchestrated this is a monster! What an amazing job!

[@MrVocalist101]

just a lil anecdote my dad told me.........the guy started playing around 15 yrs old and got to such a standard that he was offered a scholarship at berkley school of music ( world renound as being one of the worlds best), after turning up their in the morning by the afternoon he was a fully fledged lecturer at the college!!!!!, just one of those people that was born to do it, simply the greatest jazz guitarist of all time...:-)

[@robbybass11]

i love metheny. this is one of my favorite songs.

[@TalYahalom]

6:28 - 6:44... just amazing. gives me chills every time. It must be amazing to play with pat and see his approving face at 6:47...

[@freedok]

Agreed! I caught his show 3 times in Detroit over the last 10 years. He doesn't come around as often as I like.

[@gfunk449]

he's like a modern-day Beethoven - keeps your senses continually on its toes, ever feeling and yearning to hear more...

[@hankshreve]

Beautiful. It brings a tear to the eye everytime I watch it. Thanks for posting

NO IDEA HOW ANYONE COULD THUMBS DOWN THIS amazing

[@abirdynumnum9612]

Hare to believe 13 years ago. :-) Time flies.

Beyond the technique, harmony understanding, composition skills, perfection of the delivery, what impresses is the longevity and his tireless great impact on the world of music. Even if I am not always listening to you, you are my hero man!

[@andrestark2958]

what a great big band rendition of this classic

[@rockheadkengo]

So amazing...I've never heard them live before, that was incredible...

[@WorldVenturesZack]

The winds across the Pampas. I have yet to know them in person, but I know them on many austral planets, in many countries and in the warmth of many chills.... thanks to you Pat

[@cousindave7122]

+ChristianSiddhartha .........Or do you think this might be the echoes of mid-summer breezes wafting across the wheatfields of Kansas Where Pat grew up?

[@gtrs4life]

I love Pat Metheny! He is the greatest!

[@bf0rpd]

I agree with you! What is twice as sad is that Jazz in general doesn't get the type of exposure that it deserves.

[@patshep68]

i have always loved this tune, great to see a nice live performance of it

The sound at 5:27 on takes me on a magical ride

[@corbach]

Absolutely awesome.

[@philoshaughnessy906]

This track comes from the album Still LIfe Talking. I was in a record store when I heard this track and bought the whole album on the strength of it. The rest of the album is pretty good, too.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Phil O'Shaughnessy, I too picked up the album years ago because of Last Train Home. I never ever tire of listening to Pat Metheny or Patrick O’Hearn.

[@alberttackie2800]

that is a wonderful piece of music

[@UltimateForceMarketing]

Absolute & Sheer GENIUS!!!You know you are listening to "Organically" created music...when you can listen to the same CD Audio Tracks of most all of Metheny's Music and you never tire of listening & being re-inspired everytime!!!!Let me tell you that when the Extraterestrial Aliens come to get me...i will say ..."Wait!!!I need to grab my "PatMethenyGroup" DVD's before you take me away!!!"

[@mikecollins7003]

So good...the greatest!

[@scottraustin]

A fantastic arrangement and orchestration featuring the sensational composing and performing talents of master guitarist Pat Metheny over the haunting mystical changes of his composition with wordless vocals that add to the its other-worldly feel. This is also a rare appearance of the maestro without his brilliant pianist Lyle Mays who appeared on the original grammy-winning album Still Life (Talking). So much pure musical beauty and truth in one album. Bravo.

[@KushNubit]

One of my favs....

[@TeleJazzer]

Simply awesome!!!

[@Drivethebeat]

[@tennispat9]

incredible... the emotion and intensity come through in everything pat performs

[@jazzyeddy2]

This was great! I've seen PMG perform this live many times, one of my faves (minuano) but it works really well with the orchestra, especially thrilling big horn section turnaround/bridge toward the end, wow, how climatic! And I like Pat's approval nod he gives after that, incredibly complex part, those guys in the orch were working pretty hard! Thanks for the post!
