Pat Metheny
EFG London Jazz Festival, Barbican
PAT METHENY’s illustrious career and pioneering sonic vision has given him a unique perspective on how to push boundaries and innovate.
From his work playing in traditional formats — solo, in duets, trios, quartets and various large ensembles including the Pat Metheny Group — to writing and producing an array of milestone albums, singles and soundtrack work, his urge to investigate what might be possible has been at the forefront of his thinking.
His latest album MoonDial is a solo recording using a baritone nylon string acoustic guitar specially made by Linda Manzer, one of the world finest luthiers.
