  • All About Jazz: Metheny's "Question and Answer" Reissue "A Masterpiece of the First Order"

    Pat Metheny's 1989 album Question and Answer, recently remastered and reissued by Nonesuch, is described by All About Jazz as one of "a glittering, altogether too infrequent series" of acoustic trio albums from Metheny. The review cites drummer Roy Haynes ("just heavenly") and the "shining" performance of bassist Dave Holland for creating "another magnificent Metheny trio line-up." The album is a "whirlwind of an affair, invigorating and exquisite; a masterpiece of the first order." Along with that reissue comes the wider release of Upjonie, the 2002 collaboration between Metheny and Polish singer/pianist Anna Maria Jopek, in which, The Guardian states, "Metheny's guitar often accompanies Jopek's floating, fragile intensity like another voice."

  • Pat Metheny's "Tokyo Day Trip" Live EP Now Available

    Today marks the release of Pat Metheny's new Tokyo Day Trip Live EP. The collection contains five tracks originally made available online as bonus tracks for Pat's recently released trio album Day Trip, with Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez.

    "There was such an outpouring of demand from listeners," Pat explains, "that we decided to compile the recordings all in one place and release them together as a set."

About this Album

This newly remastered version of Metheny's 1989 studio jam with two jazz legends, bassist Dave Holland and drummer Roy Haynes, features standards and Metheny originals. The set, says the Washington Post, "has a wonderfully free and spontaneous air about it."
