A new book that traces the central musical ideas in the work of composer/guitarist Pat Metheny during his five-decade caareer. Extensive new interviews, lucid musical description and discussion, exploration of how a “story telling” metaphor finds expression within musical forms… a guide for listener/readers of all musical backgrounds.
The Miles Davis Lost Quintet
George Lewis: “a radical challenge to accepted portrayals of the networks that animated experimental music-making in the crucial decade of the 1970s.”
Stanley Cowell: “will be an important contribution to music literature and study.”
All About Jazz: “a compelling narrative of artistic ambitions and human nature.”
