Pat Metheny (Jazz Piano Solos, v. 57)

Another volume of solo piano arrangements, this time of tunes by Pat Metheny (and in some cases Lyle Mays).

Quite a few people of my generation seem to know of Metheny only from the Pat Metheny Group recordings. I happen to think those are amazing, but I know they do not always appeal to jazz purists. But it would be a huge mistake to think Metheny is defined by those recordings. Check out albums like 80/81, Question and Answer, Day Trip, and the recent solo acoustic recordings, such as Moon Dial. Metheny does straight jazz, too. And he writes incredible ballads!

  1. Always and Forever
  2. Antonia
  3. Are You Going With Me? 
  4. Better Days Ahead
  5. First Circle
  6. Have You Heard
  7. In Her Family
  8. (It's Just) Talk
  9. James
  10. Last Train Home
  11. Letter From Home
  12. The Longest Summer
  13. Make Peace
  14. A Map Of The World
  15. Mas Alla
  16. Minuano (Six Eight)
  17. New Year
  18. Phase Dance
  19. Question & Answer
  20. The Road To You
  21. Sirabhorn
  22. So May It Secretly Begin
  23. Sometimes I See
  24. Unity Village

Set here.
