 Rating:  - boringi brought this cd home from the library the other day being a pat metheny fan i just find the cd boring the only track worth playing again is, is this america.i must also say that the way up cd was not in the same league as speaking of now. Rating: - Metheny, we wait for better days!This album, like pretty much all his output since the early nineties, lacks that crucial element of experimentation and risk-taking. There's no doubt about Pat's talent but really I'm suprised that he is so stuck creatively. Dont start into his music with this album. I've followed his career since 1985 and was so impressed with 'Still Life' and 'Letter from Home'. This led me to his back catalogue and there are some amazing albums like 'First circle' and 'Watercolors'. Lyle Mays has been a great backup and solos just as inventively. Time moves on but sadly, middle age has made Metheny just too comfortable. Rating:  - Modern Jazz Guitarist Pat Metheny hardly needs any introduction. Though primarily a jazz musician, his music encompasses diverse genres, including, avant-garde music (with Steve Reich and Derek Bailey), world music, folk, and country. Day Trip is firmly in the jazz camp, being rooted in modern mainstream jazz and post-bop. With the exception of the somewhat schmaltzy track `Is this America?' all compositions are straight-ahead jazz workouts in trio format (guitar, bass, and drums). Metheny's pleasantly warm and melodic guitar sound recalls Wes Montgomery (Wes' influence seems to have become stronger over the years), but, in terms of its sheer virtuosity, is in a league of its own. This is the jazziest Metheny I have heard in a while. Compared to the sometimes ... Read More: Rating: - Great playing from this stellar lineupApart from taking time out to play with Brad Mehldau last year, Metheny has been playing in this trio extensively since the release of his last Group effort in 2005; in fact, it turns out that all the pieces on this CD were laid down in October of that year during a recording session that lasted a single day (hence the title). Sanchez is the current drummer in his group, and McBride - while still only in his mid 30's - has played with the likes of Benny Carter, Freddie Hubbard, Michael Brecker and Sting. When these three stellar musicians get together, it's a powerful mix, ranging from the supremely confident opener, "Son Of Thirteen" to the terrific title track (known, somewhat confusingly, as "Number 13" in early live setlists). Others have already ... Read More: Rating: - BreathtakingComing from someone who is not a huge Pat Metheny fan, this album is absolutely great. I love the space that each player occupies in this 3 piece group. Well worth the purchase as it has rarely left my CD player. |
