In 2012, guitarist Pat Metheny won a Grammy for his album Unity Band. That album featured his then newly formed group featuring saxophonist Chris Potter, bassist Ben.
On, reveals that he can look in two directions at once. The group he's assembled here is an all-star ensemble. Drummer has been with him for a decade, while double bassist makes his first appearance with the guitarist, as does tenor saxophonist (whose soprano and bass clarinet playing are on display, too). Makes full use of this ensemble's possibilities.
Ati teas study calendar in 3.0 version. That said, he looks back through his catalog and composes for this band from some of the information gleaned there. One can recall the swirling melodic euphoria of in the guitar and guitar-synth interplay in 'Roofdogs.' On the ingenious 'Come and See,' 's many-stringed Picasso guitar meets 's bass clarinet to create a tonal inquiry before and establish a deep blue groove.
When adds his tenor and his electric, we get a Latinized swinging pulse that is ever so slightly reminiscent of the band with and (this isn't the only place that happens here). Fans of 's more abundantly lyrical side will appreciate the breezy sway of 'Leaving Town,' though its melody - twinned by his guitar and - is full of compelling tight turns, before the rhythm section evokes a deep, swinging blues and the guitarist gets refreshingly funky in his solo. On 'Signals' uses his Orchestrion and guitar with live loops; the band employs live loops throughout the intro on top. 's tenor solo is emotive, grainy, and reaching, while the atmosphere recalls - only generally - the album the guitarist cut with.
The nocturnal, smoky 'Then and Now' has a torch ballad quality due to 's utterly songlike solo. Set closer 'Breakdealer' begins at the boiling point and gets hotter.
The title hints at what does throughout the tune while pushing forward, but not only keeps up, he adds propulsive shades of his own and rocks the arpeggiated changes fluidly. And are free to sprint and they do; both dazzle with their lyric invention and knotty, imaginative, nearly boppish solos. The two front-line players are surely at their best in one another's company on the date; you expect them to be.
Yet it's the rhythm section that astonishes thoroughly. Their interplay is not only intuitive, it's informative; it points to new corners for and to explore. Given the guitarist's more compositional solo experiments of the last few years - all of which have been very satisfying - is a return to what he does best: composing for, and playing with, a band of top-shelf players.
In 2012, guitarist won a Grammy for his album. That album featured his then newly formed group featuring saxophonist, bassist, and drummer. A year later, returned with, which found expanding the ensemble to include multi-instrumentalist.

Arriving in 2016, showcases that expanded version of live in a gorgeously produced one-off performance at New York's Black Box Theatre on the heels of their 2014 tour. Hoping to capture the synergy and collective dynamic forged over the yearlong tour, had set up at the Black Box just as they would for a live show. He then had the concert recorded and filmed, resulting in a unique document that is both studio recording and live performance. Here, we get cuts off both and, as well as songs culled from 's lengthy career. These run the gamut from acoustic classical pieces ('Adagia') to moody, groove-oriented modal fusion cuts ('Roofdogs') to atmospheric world music-inflected numbers ('Come and See') and more. Elsewhere, the ensemble summons a palpable warmth on the ruminative ballad 'This Belongs to You,' combines spirituality and African rhythms on 'On Day One,' and dives headlong into the expansive flamenco-steeped anthem 'Rise Up.'
They even make room for a sprightly duo version of the jazz standard 'Cherokee,' featuring lively interplay between and. Ultimately, while is the undisputed leader here, it's the thoughtful interplay of all 's members that makes these sessions so involving.
