Pat Metheny - Greatest Jazz Guitarist Ever? (tune)

SATCHMO · 03-07-2008, 10:33 AM

My faves:
Grant Green
Wes Montgomery
Kenny Burrell

Pats got the chops, but I have a hard time of thinking of him as a "jazz" guitarist. He's too "new Age" for my tastes

I would like to hear some more Metheny. I love his work on one of my favourite live albums Shadows and Lights by Joni Mitchell.

Iv'e seen other videos from this show, although I was more in tune with watching Jaco play. Didn't even know till this vid that Pat was there too.

Jaco does dominate but the whole band are so damn good. I will have to get that album. I used to have it on vinyl back in the good old days!

He gets a bad rap in my opinion, but it's partly his fault for writing and performing all the commercial stuff he does.

He did a nice straight ahead album with John Scofield a few years ago called I Can See Your House From Here. There's a few tunes on it where they stomp on the distortion and let it rip for a few choruses

Bill Stewart on drums too
