Drummer reacts to "Have You Heard" (Live) by Pat Metheny

Well after many requests and suggestions... Patron X finally officially requested Pat Metheny. And wow, what have I been missing bro? This was immaculate. His tone is just perfect and the drummer's cymbal work is NUTS. This is great and I want MORE.

The first time I heard the Pat Metheny Group was in 1978 on a live TV show, they played "San Lorenzo" I still think it's the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[@Noname-ko5pj]

Pat Metheny and his partner Lyle Mays, the keyboardist, are two of the great geniuses of 20th century music.. You have a great adventure ahead of you as you dive in here. There's nothing like this catalog. Anywhere, in any kind of music.

[@brumleytwitch6265]

THAT's how you improvise on guitar. Pat was the guitarist on Joni Mitchell's Coyote that you watched.

[@donaldanderson6604]

An amazing concert, especially when the band snuck in a lick from Phase Dance under Joni singing the line "songs from the hit parade..."

[@donaldjackson1490]

Absolutely, a deep rabbit hole over 50 years of exceptional music…60 albums, over 20 Grammys, Phase Dance, San Lorenzo, Jaco, First Circle, Minuano 6/8, September 15th, It’s Just (Talk), Sixty Six, From This Place, and hundreds of others.

[@donaldanderson6604]

Great place to start. Can't wait to see your reaction. Warning! Being a Pat Metheny fan is a full time job.

Pat Metheny has won a Gazillion Grammys

[@irmaoksanen6830]

My vote goes to the vocalist.

[@ChrisEchoes]

The Pat Metheny Group was basically a partnership between Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays with Steve Rodby as their anchor. It was also a group specifically designed to incorporate modern technology into jazz. Lyle’s subtle integration of synths is amazing and Pat has been at the forefront of using guitar synths. This particular incarnation of the PMG had a distinct Brazilian slant with Armando Marcal on percussion and Pedro Aznar on vocals and various other instruments. It was PMG at their most accessible while still being firmly rooted in jazz. Minuano (Six Eight) might be my favourite piece from this period. Oh, and do check out live recordings of them doing the piece First Circle, Lyle’s piano solo is freaking awesome.

[@johnwilliams575]

First Circle is phenomenal!!

[@davidcann2405]

They used to use his song "Phase Dance" as bumper music on televised golf tournaments.

[@Squarewave39]

Saw Pat three weeks ago in Fort Lauderdale. His solo show the seventh time I’ve seen him just incredible as usual.

[@donaldjackson1490]

Last year I saw both the Side eye tour and Pat’s Solo, been a faithful fan since 1978

@@donaldjackson1490 I got to see the Side Eye tour when it made it to LA. Just phenomenal (as expected with anything Metheny).

Check out Rick Beato’s interview with Pat to get a good idea of his breadth, depth, and influence. Plus he’s just a really good guy.

[@janewells5970]

Beato interview was excellent! Loved the stories of early years! Playing for gas to the next gig 😊

The internet was invented for that interview.

I must say, Rick put my interview with Pat to shame… we had some good moments but the Rick one was awesome.

[@yes_head]

Now we're talkin'! 😁 Pat Metheny is a great next step after Steely Dan, if you want to go deeper into jazz. He's been enormously successful because of the melodic accessibility of his music. He's recorded solo albums, albums with The Pat Metheny Group, and has collaborated with just about everyone. He's been described as 'the last of the old guys', in terms of his approach to harmony and improvisation. He's simply a master and -- like McCartney -- we're lucky every year he's still out there performing.

[@timmiller5913]

Check out the live version of ''Third Wind'' from the ''More Travels'' video. Profound.

[@michaelbriefs9764]

I’m such a huge, huge fan of PMG and all Pat music! I have been a fan since “As Falls Wichita…” and I first saw him on the Travels tour (shout out to Danny Gottlieb)!! I also saw him at Blues Alley in Georgetown, in D.C., on the “Rejoicing” tour. Pat’s music (along with Lyle Mays) gets into your soul. It takes you on a journey!! All his music is incredible. Multi-Grammy winner!!

[@jeffmartin1026]

I saw them on the "As Falls Wichita" tour. They played at a local collage, in a cafeteria area and set up on very low risers. There weren't many people there and we were right up at the front. I've seen them multiple times over the years, luckily always at small auditoriums with great acoustics.

[@michaelbriefs9764]

@@jeffmartin1026 cool! I think the last time I saw him was in Denver 1997, I forget which album he/they were touring on. Totally excellent!

[@neonpark1874]

I was also at that show at Blues Alley. Also saw PMG at Wolf Trap in Virginia where he invited a couple of singer/lyricists on stage who had composed lyrics to their tune Airstream. No one was expecting that.

[@redzone77p]

Saw Pat 3 times live, a phenomenal talent. Lyle Mays on keys...one of the goats, RIP.

[@Squarewave39]

This is pure jazz no fusion here. Every note is written these guys are schooled.

[@jpined14]

It’s definitely not straight ahead but Pat plays beautiful music; no need to fit a label.

[@davidgale7384]

Pat is a master guitarist. An incredibly deep catalogue.

[@jazzzman8050]

Pat’s (and Lyle’s) compositions and playing are so “smooth”, “impeccable”, and with such “finesse”, that it’s possible to overlook what monstrous musicianship is involved here! Cool to see you recognize that : ) Pat and Lyle had this band, with some personnel changes, going for 25 years, until Lyle got too I’ll to continue. Over 20 Grammys along the way, a LOT of great music to explore in the PMG catalog! And then…there’s the many albums Pat Metheny has recorded outside the PMG. See him if you can! 😊

[@Squarewave39]

Congratulations welcome to the incredible world of Pat Metheny so much to explore so much fun! that was a 1947 Gibson 175 with the treble pickup removed couldn’t stand up to the road any further so now he is using Ibanez and Linda Linda Manzer guitars

[@roundtownKen]

Metheny is one deep and satisfying rabbit hole. Some of the most amazing music... said the Steely Dan guy. He is old school, OG, etc. cut from the same cloth as Jaco Pastorius, Joni Mitchelll, etc. Hard to catagorize...not as much fusion- more straight ahead/modern jazz/world jazz. Some of his early stuff - American Garage from '79 was more fusion-y in a Pat sort of way. His group is one of the rarest of rare in that their live shows are BETTER than their records- because their musicianship and prowess allow them to expand on the original material without watering it down. Much the opposite. Lyle Mayes (RIP) was as talented as PM, but they made each other sound better and had a real musical ESP between them. Try First Circle from the album of the same name. Live of course. Happy listening.

[@mojorider8455]

Dude, Pat Metheny is awesome. Lots of accessible stuff to the non-jazz listener but not in anyway dumbed down. First came across Pat in 1977, had never heard anyone with his guitar tone and melodicism.

[@dwashington607]

I'm so happy that someone has introduce your to the Pat Metheny Group. Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays were the Lennon and McCartney of Jazz. It's sad that Lyle is not longer with us. I've seen them perform live many times through the years. I'm sure you will get many more suggestions for Pat. Please don't let anyone of them pass you by. Good starting point.

[@leonardocartes1253]

Thank you for reacting to the PMG! Pat and Lyle cowrote about 90% of tithe music from this band. RIP Lyle. The personnel: Pat (G), Lyle (P,K), Paul Wertico (D), Steve Robby (B), Pedro Aznar (V, misc ), Armando Marcal (P). Their discography is mind-blowing. Also, thanks for mentioning Night Music. What a show! RIP David Sanborn.

Check out his recent (2021) piece “Lodger” for something uncharacteristic (shredding) that shows his versatility - and synchronicity with today’s Bowie discussion. From the great live compilation album from 2021 Side Eye NYC. New keyboardist James Francies is amazing and manages to add something truly new, which is not easy these days. Whole album is not peckable.

[@Jonni1027]

My late husband was a software engineer when we met in 1989 and for 10 years he also moonlighted some weekends as a whitewater rafting guide for Whitewater Voyages. So for 5 years before our daughter was born we’d go every free weekend we had camping and rafting. Pat Metheny was the soundtrack of those trips so whenever I hear Pat it transports me back to those precious days. Thanks for the memories Lee!❤

[@YellowJello57]

They make 7/4 sound so natural. I highly recommend the Metheny piece 'First Circle'. Keep up the great work, Lee.

[@ronwilliams2647]

Pats guitar work is unmistakeable i can listen to the first minute of one of his songs and tell its him You will rarely hear lyrics in any of his songs because he doesnt like them ..vocals yes.He also struggles with titles of songs like Zappa The late great keyboardist Lyle Mays is sorely missed even now.R I P Lyle...😢

[@jimbricker4982]

There's a rabbit hole of PM glory... just know that tunes from his ECM releases will be blocked. But if you want some recommendations for stuff that will pass muster - check out Minuano (six eight), The Heat of the Day, The Roots Of Coincidence, Opening/The Way Up (Part One), Day Trip, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, The Gathering Sky... dig deep my friend!

If you want to go down the road to jazz, which is a life-long journey, I say go for it! Pat Metheny is a legend. (A better Jerry Garcia indeed!!) But, I recommend you start with something more foundational: Try listening to Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue (1959)." It will literally change the way you hear music.... forever. It's a life-changing piece of work that had a profound impact on everything after. Plus, it's cool as hell.

Met Danny Gottlieb in a health food store once lol I wonder if he was amazed someone knew who he was.

[@jeffmartin1026]

Mr. Metheny is indeed a deep rabbit hole, but there are some LPs that I don't think are worth the time. Song X, his tribute to Ornette Coleman is harsh, and Zero Tolerance for Silence, I believe, was a contractual obligation and not very viable. For some great early work give a listen to the American Garage and As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls LPs. New Chautauqua and One Quiet Night are solo Pat on acoustic guitar.

[@neonpark1874]

I could do without most of his Ornette Coleman tunes.
