That is one artist I just do not 'get' at all. Just noise.

You jest, surely?

You see, I acquired a copy of 'Zero Tolerance for Silence'. I have tried, really, several times. Nope, just noise.

Must find some better stuff

£70! Plus £3 for booking online. No one has been able to explain to me why I should pay more for booking through an automated system and not when I engage with a member of staff (presumably on the payroll) in person. Shame as I would have loved to see him with Linda Oh.

Will he be doing This Is Not America?

There are so many sides to Metheny (as is the case with many jazz musicians). It really depends which period you're referring to. This gig is unlikely to be Zero Tolerance... (which is not noise IMO)

Booked up already. I saw the same PM line up at Ronny Scotts last year. Fabulous evening; those tickets were £150 each and well worth it.

Probably my all time favourite artist and a mega talent.

Wayhey, a whole evening of lift music!

... but surely even a cursory google will tell you that this and Song X are the only parts of Metheny's output in this vein?

Wow, that is just stunningly beautiful.

I have a couple of Pat Metheny albums from way, way back, I think I recall a sort of fusion jazz style, quite heavy on saxaphone. I must dig them out and crank up the old LP12 later!
