For what was like forever, I had collected and then recently saw Pat in concert. A thrill to hear him explain his instruments and the changes his music has taken.
My dad got me into Pat Metheney back in 1989. I listen to him alot, I must admit. Off Ramp, Still Life Talking, Letter From Home and As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls. I also love Lyle Mays first solo album.
You're a man after may own heart. I love Pat. I got see him for my 5oth journey around the Sun. I was just 16 when I discovered Off Ramp. Specifically "Are you Going with Me", as it was used as background music on a popular radio show in NYC. I finally discovered the entire album in the late nineties after college and pre internet. Off Ramp is pure Gold. Truly timeless..
Also check out his work with Gary Burton(vibes)
I may have a album or two with Metheny and Burton....I'll have to check. I appreciate your comments, thank you very much ✌️ 😊
Also Gary Burton came and played solo at my university
Brother Kenny, now you're really cooking! I have over 100 pieces of Pat Metheny on Vinyl and CD! They have to be my favorite of all time! Let me give you my Top 5 here that I have at least 4 copies of each.1) Secret Story 2)As Falls Wichita...3)First Circle 4)Travels 5)New Chautauqua. Yes, I have 6 copies of OFF Ramp. I promise they are in my Top 10! Thanks Brother Kenny for propping my favorite band! Peace and Love! We need to get together and listen to Pat and Lyle on superior stereo equipment, which you are the King of! Sorry, I need to do 6 through 10 here too! 6)American Garage 7)The White Album 8) Bright Size Life 9) Speaking of Now 10) OFF RAMP!
Thank you very much for your awesome top ten. I listened to Bright Size Life because I have not listened to it in years and the performance was spectacular
First circle was the first Pat Metheny album that I ever got. I got it when it came out in 84. I was working in record stores and we were playing Pat Metheny but I didn’t own any at the time l. First Circle is one of my desert island albums, and is one album that I probably listen to the most over the years. I’m sure I listen to it at least several times a year now. Then I went back and bought Offramp, As Falls Wichita, and Letter from Home. You are the first VC that I have seen talk about these. I couldn’t agree with you more thank you for sharing these with your viewers. Matt in L. A.
Thank you very much Matt for taking the time to share your comments about Pat Metheny and thank you for watching my video 😊 ✌️
Thanks for the video, Kenny. I absolutely love Pat Metheny, and "Letter from Home" has a special place on my heart as an immense talent from my homeland (Argentina) features: Pedro Aznar. I reccomend listening to his album "Contemplación" (1985 I believe) which is the first piece of music they put out together.
Very good here Kenny, I’m a huge Pat Metheny fan and I have all of his stuff, including the newer stuff. Off Ramp and Witcha Falls were my favorite but I really liked them all.
There is an artist, who was a drummer, Larry Bright that in my opinion didn’t get his just dues before his death and his first album, Solar Vision which is extremely rare, if you can find it, it ranges from 180-350. It has never had a reissue, or even a cd, but another one of his albums had a reissue two years ago on rsd.
Solar Vision is from either 1978 or 83. The album is in a word incredible, one of the best Jazz fusion albums ever made. If you or your audience has time check it out on TH-cam. Larry worked with Sun Ra, Ahmad Jamal, Buddy Guy, John Scofield, John Lee Hooker and Paquita D’Rivera amongst others.
Great stuff, I love me some Pat Metheny. Au Lait from Offramp is so haunting and spooky. It's For You from Wichita absolutely crushes me. For whatever reason I associate that song with all the friends, family and pets I've known over the years who are no longer with me. Lyle's synth on that song is just so beautiful. Nana is the secret weapon on those lps.
Well said 👏 👌 👍...I totally agree and you are correct about Nana, what an incredible percussionist he was.
I just got into Metheny heavy this year what a stacked discography.
I great guitar player for sure...I'm glad that you discovered his music 😊
Dig....
It was so cool back in the day,
to go in the cut-out bins
and find some precious gems
for 99 cents.
Peace on earth.
Those were the day for sure 😊✌️
My favorite cut on the Off Ramp album: "Au Lait." It's hauntingly mellow.
I agree, it's a very interesting composition and very cool to listen to 🎶
Dear Kenny or should I say King Jazz Kenny...what a joy to watch this video, Pat Metheny is one of my favourites and I do have most of the albums you showed, a true genius, thanks for sharing these albums the story behind them and the immense wealth of information of Jazz which I never knew before ...keep well
Thank you very much my friend. Stay well and I hope that you have a great week 😊 ✌️
I’m with you, Big fan of Pat Metheny and have most of his albums. I’ve seen him live many times since 1985. Off Ramp was the 1st album I ever listened from Pat and got hooked forever ever since but I’m fond of his 1st recording as a leader, “Bright Size Life” with Jaco Pastorius playing bass which In 2020, the album was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for sharing that information. Now I' definitely looking forward to listening to "Bright Size Liife" 😊
Travels is my all time fave followed by First Circle, but also the later stuff like side eye, and others, there is nobody who does what Pat does he is a genre all of his own, excited to see him live this Nov acoustic solo, I have seen him 7 times and i think every collection should have a min of 7/8 of his LPs
It must have been great to see him in person. I've seen live songs on TH-cam and he is awesome. I have not listened to his Travels album in a while so I'm going to have to listen to it soon.
Offramp is my favorite from Pat Metheny. American Garage and Travels are great too.
I just listened to both of the albums, and they both are in the realms of the way I like to hear jazz albums. I also think the offramp album is coming in at number one of the two. I'm also updating my opinion of a certain topic of discussion as far as easier or harder do, to it being a conversation I got into on my job. I think it is, in fact, easier to make it in the music world today than it was preinternet. I mentioned on my last post that although it's easier to be known, you may not become known or famous but only to your subscribers. In times past, if you were in the spotlight, the listening audience demanded more of you. If you were out of the spotlight, the listening audience who were your fans still demanded more of you artistically. This would also explain why regular everyday pop songs had more cord changes, better writing, and top notch vocal delivery in lots of songs. As of now, you can be without all those things existing in the spotlight with no criticism from a passive listening audience. So yes, life is a lot easier nowadays, artistically for music entertainers. Instead of being a seasoned musician, you can now be a person who just makes music.
Saw PMG three times. One of my favorites!
Hi Kenny,
you brought a smile in my face...I have 4 Metheney albums, and the white one with no title is my favorit. ECM ist a german label in Gräfelfing/Munich. They have a little shop where you can by the music- and also noodles and wine etc.
Thanks for your video whitch reminds me to hear this music nowadays...Greetings from Bavaria
Thank you very much and thank you for watching from Bavaria 😊 ✌️
Kenny I saw Pat and Rodby many times Rodby wqs bass player in my university jazz band i even interviewed Pat around the time of Bright Sized Life saw him in small club in Evanston IL yes Jaco was the jam saw him with Weather Report great review Kenny I love American Garage as well which I have on vinyl
Thank you very much for sharing that, It must have been a great experience seeing Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorius 👍 👏 🎶
Bright Size Life has Jaco on there yes.
Kenny, I so enjoy your reviews and I purchase music based on what you present. My first fusion album was Tom Scott Tom Catting. The line up is amazing as I'm sure you know. I agree with Offramp, I saw Pat earlier this year on his solo story telling tour and I have also seen the group several times in the past. Thank you for presenting your knowledge.
I appreciate those comments, thank you very much for contributing inspiration to keep me going with these videos 😊 ✌️
I like both 'New' and 'Wichita' than, and that is a great analogy to Miles Davis. 'It's For You' , so beautiful- total agreement! Good stuff man! I remember where I heard it in a movie- Fandango! Fun flick from the 80's!
Thanks Kenny, I know what I’ll be listening to today 😀
😊😁🎶
I would prefer "Travels" to "Offramp"... one of the greatest live albums ever!
That seems to be a favorite from some of my viewers, I'm definitely going to listen to it soon.
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews By the way: I love everything by Metheny on ECM. What a label! And: Check out "80/81". Incredible recording!
Nice pick, Kenny. I love all of Pat’s ECM albums. Was there ever a better debut album than “Bright Size Life.” Both Pat and Jaco were in their early 20s. I love, too, the follow-up, “Watercolors,” with the great Eberhard Weber. All of ECM’s albums were just beautifully packaged and produced. The album covers were literally works of art and no one had been vinyl.
I agree with you about the ECM album covers, they are definitely special for sure.
Good choice.
Thank you 😊 ✌️
Great video . Bright Size Life ! Yes that lp has Jaco and Bob Moses on drums . Jaco on his 1961 ? Fender bass that de de fretted and coated the neck with boat epoxy . In an interview in guitar player magazine in 1984 he talked about it saying that you can get Pettit epoxy from any good boat store ??? Yeah of course we had loads of boat stores in east London in 1984 . I didn’t let that stop me from ripping the frets out of my Kay Precision. They play the Ornette Coleman tune Broadway Blues and that has some serious Jaco on that track . It’s not really a fusion record , it’s a modern jazz guitar trio . Years later in 2011 I went to Florida to the Jaco area of Deerfield Beach . Loads of boat stores and fishing
I listened to that album last night and the performance was tremendous....simply a great album.
Couple days ago, I stumbled onto a youtuber using Super Glue in lieu of boat epoxy. Super Glue?!?!?
Check it out. 😀
@@jazzpunk might have a similar effect of making the surface of the bass fingerboard harder to take the pressure of roundwound strings ? I like the idea of boat epoxy a bit more .
I love the early PMG...Mark Egan is fantastic on "Jaco".
Another early Metheny album with Jaco is the one with Paul Bley & Bruce Ditmas.
Hard hitting, not so much easy as BSL.
recently picked up about 15 cds (would rather have vinyl!) at a thrift store for $.38, so could not pass up. I picked up Dave Brubeck's greatest and it really is good jazz music! A few live track on it as well.
At that price that was a amazing value, congratulations 😊
👍
Kenny, sorry if someone's already mentioned this - I've not read all comments. just FYI - "au lait" is French.. it basically sounds like "oh lay", and means "with milk".
Thank you very much for mentioning that, it's much appreciated 😊
It's For You is used brilliantly in a dance scene in the Kevin Costner movie Fandango
Thanks Kenny. I did get to see this group live. I went to Amazon HD, which I think is a fantastic service. This was in 24/96. What a fantastic sound stage, nice and wide. I like...Are you going with me.
I wad not aware of that Amazon service, thanks for mentioning that 😊
Thanks for the recommendation Bro Kenny. By chance do you have any johnny hammond and if so would love to hear your opinion of your top 5 albums of his. Thanks and love the channel!
Thank you very much for watching my video 😊...unfortunately I only have two Johnny Hammond albums in my collection ("Higher Ground" and "Breakout", I may have some CDs) but thank you very much for the suggestion.
Kenny, since I'm new to you channel I promise to be kind but in my opinion Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life (1973) is by far his best, it's not even close. The other would be Pat Metheny Group (1978),. There is also a album by Jaco Pastorius call Jaco (1978) that he is on and does some of his best playing, as I said just my opinion.
I'll definitely give those albums a listen for sure, especiall the Bright Size Life album as a few of my viewers including you recommended it highly. The Jaco Pastorius album made my top 10 jazz fusion albums list.
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews Not sure if you have this in you collection but check out Pat Metheny - Live In The 70's, it's a 5CD box set (2017). I'm sure it will make you rethink about what he was playing in the 80's. I just wasn't a big fan of his work going into the 80's even though I have his catalog. FYI, my.collection is all digital.
I do not have that CD set but thank you very much for the suggestion 😊 ✌️.
I listened to "Bright Size Life" and it was MAGNIFICENT!!! especially the songs "Unity Village", "Ubiquity Road" and the best was "Round Trip/Broadway Blues" were Pat and Jaco were really jammin...although overall I still like Offramp better, this album is VERY close. I can see how jazz fans around that time probably enjoyed this great album because the improvisational aspects are awesome.
Au Lait is pronounced Oh Lay
Seems like you like jazz fusion a lot?
I like jazz fusion and other genres equally as well 😊....but you are 💯 percent correct, I love jazz fusion 😊😁
Who with good taste and imagination and loves improvisation doesn’t it?
