I realize that no matter what I say here, words will fail me. There is simply no way to express the full measure of your very positive impact on my life, or how so very grateful I am to you. Very few on this planet have brought tears of joy out of so many as you have. No matter how bad it gets out here, the world is a much better place because of you. We throw out words like brilliant and genius, it's the best I can do, You are a thousand times more than that. God Bless You Pat Metheny.
Could not be said any better. I feel the same way....
The tribe....
I have one word: honesty. That is Metheny to me. Always true to his art and belief.
Hahaha. YES. Pat Metheny has me scrambling to find every possible adjective in the English language to describe his music and what it DOES TO MY SOUL. Sometimes there just aren't any words. And that's when you know you've stepped off the coils of mortality and slid into an obscure and immensely satisfying sense of immortality. And it's just ONE album!
We are listening to a man who has completely mastered his craft. Incredible musician.
Thank you Pat, Antonio, Gwilym, Linda, Luis, the Orchestra.......My Soul is happy and in Peace now ! I will always be ..... coming with you !
I m French saxophonist since 40 years and i listen Pat for very long time.This music is magical. Pat propose us to travel to come back at essential the happiness of life.
The jazz,the classical elements,the musical ambient,all Is magic
Truth....
We saw Pat live in a classic old downtown Sacramento theater last year, a sincere religious experience I will cherish in memory.
I challenge anyone to turn up volume on this song all the way after the eight minute mark to not feel the anger and the power awakened. There’s so much going on it’s beyond words.
Chills
No shit, like Wagner!
How does he do that? Genius doesn't begin to describe it.
Every time a Metheny album came out, I'd fall in love with it and never want Pat to do anything else but continue with the themes of that work in his next album. I'm so glad he never did. He entertained me, but he also educated me. I am forever in his debt. He is a singular, global treasure.
Truth....and this included Lyle.....
My older brother turned me onto PMG when I was 15 years old; he bought the white PMG album then took me to see them at Town Hall in NYC in 1980. That was the beginning of my love affair with Pat Metheny, and it’s been 40 years of seeing him everywhere I lived: NY, Boston, and now northern California. Pat’s guitar playing and songwriting just keeps getting better and better. I love the comments about his music being a soundtrack to life .... very true. Very sadly, I lost my brother suddenly and way too soon in 2009, however I feel his spirit with me in all the music he loved, but most especially when I listen to Pat or see him live. And my oldest nephew loves Pat as much as his father did. Long may he play. 🎸❤️
Witnessing...
Gail Weisman , your bro was a great man.
my first bf took m eto see him in 1981 in UTRECHT netherlands, right after Offramp came out...love affair since !
L van der Valk Were you at the The Way Up performance at the Vredeburg on 8th June 2005? I wept at end, it was so beautiful.
@@Pluggit1953 ohhh YES i was, 2 nights in a row !!! fantastic !!
So glad to see a new release. Like Jean Luc Ponty and Keith Jarrett, PM takes us places others don't ... can't.
That`s right, but others can take you to other places where PM can`t /// It is so simple /// I like PM but there are many others too.. ♪♫☼
The last minute harks back to the album and piece that let me discovery Metheny decades ago, "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls". I knew I was listening to genius then, and that quality is still present. This new piece also has a certain epic drive in last three minutes that is magnificent.
I just cannot imagine having to go through life without his music. Just unreal how he can go different places in the world of music but still have his own signature. A couple of years ago, my TV was on , on the Stingray Jazz station and I heard a piece of music from a musician unknown to me; Marc Johnson. I turned around and looked at the artist name and title of the piece and said: that can’t be, this has to be Pat. Indeed it was.... Sound of Summer running is that album. Bought recently. Turned out Johnson is the basist. Good album. Do not regret getting it. Anyway... Pat, thanks for a lifetime of lifechanging music. You’re it. Long life.
Great album, with Bill Frisell and Joey Baron. Bought it when it came out, and it has given me 24 years of pleasure. May you enjoy many happy years in its company too!
This is epic. "It's for you" was always one of my favourite pieces of music but this track is going to make me buy this album. Pat is the best guitarist in the world and one of the best musicians in general.
A national treasure and living legend.
i agree totally.
This through quality headphones, chilled bourbon and a comfortable chair... perfection.
You have accompanied my life since 1982. Thank you for 37 inspiring years.
Genau, Christian. Gleich fur mich seit 1981 -- meine college years. My then significant other turned me on to Metheny. The very first time I heard him it was LIVE when boyfriend got us tickets to a Metheny Group concert. It took only minutes for me to be hooked for life. Thank you, SKB, for the tix & the lifetime gift of introducing me to this timeless music.
@@jkllfdsa I've played "As falls Wichita" nearly a hundred times. The best mind-movie ever. 💙
@@christianheidenreich3673 "Played" as in performed it on guitar, or as in "Played it on my IPod"? Does German have two different verbs to describe this difference?
@@jkllfdsa Let play by record-player and CD-player. My vinyl-longplayer was run down to zero, the CD could stand the extensive playing.
Same here.Couldn't imagine my life without his music
Pat's been the future of Jazz now for 45+ years. Still pushing the envelope into outer space.
I agree, but you meant innerspace right!? I'm 🤔🤯😊
...and BEYOND
@@trowmofi BOTH !!! 😊😊😊
mwyatt222 you’re so right! I like to joke that he’s not from this planet 😉
@@larrygerndt
His spirt sure is from other spaces
One of the earliest memories of my life is being with my mother, in the kitchen of the house where I was raised, listening to "Last train home". Thirty years later, I'm still a devout follower. Looking forward to see Pat play live next march.
Your story is not alone I have one similar with my late mother
I have always wondered why some music can transcend time and memories you are living my dream of one day having the privilege to see and listen to one of the finest musicians of our generation.
Last train home hits me close too. Reminds me of some very happy moments in my life. Cheers everyone!
Amazing 💗
Great driving tune wanna drive off edge of universe into the stars
Still Life (Talking) is my favorite record from him
The use of the approaching train, building through the signal bell to the “beat-drop” of the train whistle at 11:18 is nothing short of brilliant. This whole piece exemplifies that rare Metheny-type combination of originality and depth. Pat is a national treasure.
truth!!!!!!!
He is indeed.
Absolutely beautiful. I have literally grown up with his music and I cannot imagine not having it along on this journey. Thank you Pat Metheny!!
Robert Nickens , Indeed. I can jus imagine what a nightmare it would have been to be born in another century. So lucky to be blessed with his music. :-)
@@jeanjcaron I suppose every century has its music and hace often wondered how come this music was never even inspired to be composed before now. Didn't anyone have imagination in the 17th century or did They all have to follow suit? Yes, we are extremely lucky!
If there's a soundtrack for the human spirit breaking its chains and soaring, this is most certainly it. Pat does it again.
The best concert I've ever attended, in my entire life, was a very small show Pat and Lyle gave with the rest of the Pat Metheny Group in maybe 1991 or 1992 in the cafeteria at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. No special lights, no stage (small riser), no crowd (maybe 300 people), low ceiling tiles, ceramic tile floor ... the absolute worst place you could ever perform music. PM and LM and the rest simply blew us away. They played for themselves and we few who attended were just lucky to be there to witness it. I've seen some amazing live shows since, but that was unrivaled for me.
I went to one of his concerts back in 97 and it was at the Universal in Burbank, just me and moms and that was the absolute best!!!!!!
and the Ranch Bowl - small venue got some startling talent to play there. Standing within 20 ft of the Yellow Jackets.
How I wish I was there!
A beautiful surprise on the gray November day...
Truth....
Just speechless. Glad to be on Earth with him.
Truth....
For real!
Wow
What a Good
Point
Fully agree. Was lucky enough to catch the Unity Group tour twice, the two greatest performances I have seen yet.
@@timcarter2373 Take your negativity away from here............
A Pat Metheny recording is like opening up your favorite Christmas present over and over. With the same amount of glee and anticipation.
Thanks Pat, for doing this to all of us who love your work. Never stop finding new roads.
What a song!! Pat Metheny is a force of nature.
Been a fan since 1980. Pat never lets me down, RIP Lyle Mays.
I've never met you. I've been within yards of you at several of your concerts. You don't know me. You probably never will. And yet, and yet, I feel like you are my brother. You've been there for me in utter despair at the breakdown of a marriage. You've been there when my spirit has soared in happiness and joy at your sounds. You've given me goosebumps. You given me unimaginable joy through your talent, sensitivity and sensibility. You've been a soundtrack to my life. A life that would have been poorer for you not being in it. Your are living testament to how far humans can soar. How close they are to angels. Pat Metheny. Hooped jersey. American. Member of the human race. You are gifted far beyond simple gifts. Your industry at your craft has taken you to heights I could never have imagined existed. You are the finest of the finest. While ever there are ears to hear, you will be revered. I could never worship a god but I find it easy to worship you. You are above and beyond. Unbound love to you Mr Metheny.
Wow, you almost moved ME to tears there. Hope you are well.
Sanchez is simply becoming a Jack DeJohnette Part 2 - he flows like a brook, turns, over some rocks, straight, hairpin curve, rapids......effortlessly....like watching and listening to Nature.
ohh, but Sanchez is more and more spectacular, De johnette is always down, yess,
And it's been 18 years now he'd played with Pat and the PMG ! After Lyle and Steve, he will become soon the next one who played the more years with him.
I would love it if Pat and Lyle Mays could compose one more project before both of them end their playing/composing days. Pat has said he is swinging for the fences and he certainly feels the pressure of time now that he is 65 years old. They are both great talents individually, but something more than the sum when working in tandem.
Have pre-ordered the album.
guess its too late for that now
Unfortunately, Lyle Mays recently passed away...
A Thousands Thanks to You, Pat ….. You have outdone yourself yet again!! Another Grammy is guaranteed!
You don't listen to Pat, your soul absorbs him
What an amazing observation
Yes!!
Perfect
very much "journey music"....
True!
As a teen when I first heard PMG, I would listen to the album from beginning to end.Today, as an older gentleman, my end to end listening is typically on long transatlantic plane trips. There's absolutely no better music for me to listen to than PM 'cuz it totally transports you through a journey.
A return to The secret story. Thrilling !
Man am I glad to hear some new music from Pat!!! BRING IT ON!
WTF did I just listen to??? I lost conciousness for 13mins & 22secs........BRAVO MR. METHENY...BRAVO!!!!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Those sirens are so foretelling. I get the shivers every time.
I think this is the strongest Post-Lyle composition to date. Don't beat me up, but this strikes the same neurons in me.
Tom Pernal, I agree 100%. Pat and these fine musicians have struck the same neurons! :)
Yes sir. I think America Undefined especially bears the mark of Lyle Mays as if his spirit looms over the entire song. WOW. Talk about leaving a LEGACY. A musician of Pat Metheny's caliber STILL carries the Lyle Mays vibe even after he has left this earth. RIP Lyle. And thank you, Pat, for blessing us yet again with your transformational otherworldly music.
Greetings from Paso de Los Libres, Corrientes, 🇦🇷ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 Your music change my life!!
Esa!!!
Lo vamos a tener de vuelta por nuestro país de nuevo!!!
WOW! I was driving and listening to this... and at the 11:18 mark in this song I thought I was going to have to pull over. The chills were running up and down my spine.... it's been so long since I've heard music affect me so much! So wonderful...epic... and we really need Pat to continue. He's one of the few that's blazing trails forward...
in Pat this crescendo and exposure of sound is frequent
Pat Metheny in South America. March MMXX.
Thank God.
How is it 20 years later I’m still enchanted by his music?
FINALLY...Metheny is BACK! To remind us what pure inspired genius sounds like!!
It has been a great music run with Pat for me since 1979... Pat will always BE!
Thank you, Pat. For never resting or repeating, really.
He is a restless musical soul as is Bruce Hornsby. Would be nice if they would do a project and see what comes out.
what the actual heck, started as a jazz jam, ended with an epic orchestral climax. how fantastic this is.
Pat's wonderful solo! He's learned to hide and seek in the mix, quietly thinking. The music brings you on an ethereal journey, deep joy and sadness.
Pat Metheny is an American Treasure shared with the world. Keep making beautiful music, sir. I'll keep buying.
Switch off your mobile, close your eyes and let’s Pat takes your hand and brings you in a place you’re never been! Welcome back, Pat.
PAM adciok but I’m listening it on a mobile..
First time I saw him live , it was in 1995 in london and still a big pleasure to hear him playing . Sanchez brought a lot to his music and I’m a big fun of Lyle mays
I know of no other artist whose sound is the spirit of what it’s actually like to have human consciousness. This is how my life awareness, sights and smells, people and places and thoughts would sound if someone were able to put them into music. Thank goodness for Pat
Truth....
Might I be so bold as to suggest Jacob Collier? e.g. In the Real Early Morning or She's Ocean Wide and Canyon Deep or the pure joy that is his cover of Here Comes the Sun. And I can't believe that after more than 3 decades of listening to Metheny, I finally get to a concert next March!
Have an amazing time. You’ll be able to appreciate it to its full having been such a long-time listener. Jacob Collier was the other name I had in my mind, though I’ve never looked into it I have the feeling however Collier has taken Metheny as his main influence in writing chord progressions. Like a kind of master-pupil relationship thing, it certainly sounds like it.
@@cooldebt nothing like it!!
Jacob Collier is brilliant. IMO, the first artist since Pat, that can paint that same visual landscape through his music. They both possess a higher level of consciousness.
I'm hearing 45 yrs of listening to Pat here. AMAZING!!
This is more than music, this is a message.
I felt like this too.Darkness emerging from the brilliant colors of the first part
Yes
Pat is back to save us all from mainstream music. Bless you Pat. Finally the beauty of music is back..
To give us our hope back.
My God that was an EPIC Metheny song!!! The layering and building...simply amazing, now I'm really excited for this album!
Simply stunning.......Since bright sized life.......along for the most GLORIOUS of rides.....still riding at 70
I’m still hoping and praying the group reunites but this sounds fabulous !
Lyle è più che mai presente e dall'alto controlla e suggerisce. Meraviglioso!
Wow, I turned my pc on, with some music playing in the background, then realized what it actually was... Amazing!
I recall recently Pat discussing the plan to make Wichita Falls II with Lyle at some point, and then he passed. Anyone else feeling that here? I'm speechless at the grandeur of this. Lyle must be nodding in full approval over the rainbow out there. Stunning.
Reminds me of his collaborations with Lyle Mays.
Hello, à tous les amateurs de bonne musique, Pat Metheny nous revient avec comme toujours de la qualité musicale , formidable ! Bonne journée à vous tous !
Pat Metheny is the best.
...awesome track from Pat Metheny!...people listening from all over the world...one of the reasons that brought me to music to begin with...inclusive, no fence to go through...there are no walls keeping one out in music..I say right now, hello to the world!!...peace
This one's for me fore sure!!...exactly the kind of music my ears are yearning for!!...
Holy crap this is fantastic! That crescendo stating at 10 minutes with the railroad sounds...
Pat likes trains,..bless from Ecuador 🏵️ and AZ 🌵
Love Pat's music - the "White " album/CD with "San Lorenzo" , "Phase Dance" and "April Joy" on it is still one of my favorites ! One of the best live concerts I've ever attended was
at the "Bayou" in Georgetown back in tha day !
Make room on the mantle Pat.. This will be Grammy number 10.
People saying this has comparisons to Snarky Puppy... this is far better than anything Snarky Puppy could ever do, and I love Snarky Puppy.
This brings me hope.
Sounds really nice...listening to Pat for at least 40 plus years
One of the best albums in a long time. I'm grateful for that.
I cannot wait for Pat's new CD....America Undefined...he just redefined Jazz Fusion with his new CD..
THERE is the sound I've been missing for way too long! Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou Maestro!
This piece is illumination its inspiration ......its vertical!
How beautiful! Pat Metheny's comments on his approach to compose and record the music is very inspiring.
New Metheny music 😮
Real Life Music !!
Pat.. You make it. As we wish.. For a long time.
So. Beautiful. The cinematic finish is just breath taking. I have been a fan since 2009.
Secret Story .....1992.....
How lucky we are to have a musician of this talent among us. It is so good to be able to enjoy it. Congratulations Pat excellent new album
The unique sounds in the background take me back to the Pat and Lyle days. Extraordinary!
Reminds me in terms of 'The Way Up' - a free roaming landscape of sound with a deeply routed melodic pathway. I have no idea if this kind of musical creativity is possible by any other musician(s) than the Pat Metheny Band: I should imagine a high level of intuition and skill is needed. I will buy this, put it in the car on the loop and thousands of miles later I'll get it and go wow.
Good music.
It truly pains me that Jazz isn't as mainstream as it should be, but perhaps that the exclusivity adds to the charm.
Have a wonderful day stranger
The sound is HUGE for only four musicians. Reminiscent of what they did when Lyle was around. Not Lyle, but I sure like it. Well done Pat, Antonio, Linda & Gwillam!
Ho?
Hollywood Studio Symphony on the album.
Luis Conte too
At last, an album from the lineup that includes Gwilym Simcock, my favourite British pianist. And fresh material too.
Yes, he really gets to stretch out on this track but the interplay with the whole band is amazing. You can tell they had played a lot of gigs before going into the studio. Gwilym is doing some stuff with Acoustic Triangle next year. Cannot wait.
W O W. IS IT FEBRUARY YET?!!
OH YES, YES! Pat's back! and I can still hear some classic Pat sound... reunited with Gil Goldstein orchestral arrangements!! Can't wait for the full album on February 2020!!
Gil Goldstein.....so on it.....
One of the best jazz guitarists at the moment.
Glad to have seen him live.
at the moment? this guy is on top level since over forty years.
A Masterpiece. Hoping a tour will follow! Betting this would be a return to the PMG years with the stage show.
Seattle misses (and loves) you Pat!
7:55 onward helped me write a scene in my book that is the most powerful thing I've written for it to date. And I didn't even know what I was listening to. It felt like it was in my head, part of the scene. wow. Then I opened up this window and saw who it was. chills.
Simply no other the rest dust.....fully formed at 23......the astonishing breadth of his compositional skills set simply unmatched......the benchmark of our time... peerless
I saw this band at UCLA! Can’t wait for the album!
Damn, this is fantastic... this feels like the glory days of complex Pat Metheny Group compositions are back. I first saw PMG on the American Garage tour in 1979. This sounds epic, can't wait for the rest of it.
Never clicked on a title so fast !!!!! Shout out from the South Texas part of America!!!
Me too! Saw it on facebook this am and HAD to LISTEN!!
I'm also from South Texas, so here's another shout out from that part of the world!
@@Meemorp_ Me too!
South Texas here too. Hub City.
Pat, been addicted to your music since I was a freshman at BC in a dorm full of dudes blasting your music.40 years later here I am trying to convert my 12-year-old to the music!
I wondered why pat hadn't recorded for so long a period and thought he'd done it all. But I was wrong , hes done it again with this spectacular return.
The freaking goose bumps...
