Pat Metheny With Orchestra

Description:

Since the birth of modern jazz in the 1950s, the music has continued to develop through the creative efforts of various jazz musicians who have taken on what could be called challenges. Pat Metheny is undoubtedly one of the most significant contributors to this music, taking it in a variety of directions. In particular, the many masterpieces released by the Pat Metheny Group, which was at the center of his creative activities, and the concert activities that accompanied those releases, expanded the possibilities of jazz music and created a large number of fans.Among Pat Metheny's various creative activities in parallel with the activities of the Pat Metheny Group, a live performance with an orchestra at the 2003 North Sea Jazz Festival is finally available on CD! This is the only time in Pat Metheny's career that he has performed with an orchestra, and it was an ambitious attempt to express Pat Metheny's signature songs in a new arrangement with a majestic orchestra, and Pat Metheny's free-spirited guitar solos against the orchestral sound. This is truly a miracle release, as it has never been released as an album before!
