Last night, Pat Metheny played the last in a string of dates in South Africa with the trio from his upcoming Nonesuch release, Day Trip—bassist Christian McBride and drummer Antonio Sanchez. Writing in the Independent (South Africa)'s entertainment guide, Tonight, Gisele Turner reports that the Sunday show in Durban was "the gig we were all itching for."

Turner writes that, even before being joined by the "two experts," McBride and Sanchez, "the world's greatest guitarist opened with three solo pieces which twinkled aspects of his kaleidoscopic range." After hearing the trio perform songs from Day Trip and others, Turner declares: "'Gig of the year' was the general pronouncement."
