Jazz / Cool; Post-Bop
Jim Hall - electric guitar
Pat Metheny -- electric guitar, acoustic guitar, fretless classical guitar, 42-string guitar
Recorded: Jul 30-Oct 1998
The long-awaited duet recording from these two guitar giants is finally here. Jim Hall & Pat Metheny features elegant and intuitive improvising by two jazz masters in an exhilarating mix of seventeen compositions.
The inspiration for the project grew out of Metheny's personal dream to record with Jim Hall, and the musical execution on display here shows an intensity that could only come from two accomplished players with such distinctive styles.
Recorded both in the studio and live at Manchester Craftsman's Guild in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jim Hall & Pat Metheny offers stunning versions of standards such as "All the Things You Are" and "Summertime."
Jim Hall & Pat Metheny finds Hall at a creative peak. In 1997 he was named Best Composer and Arranger by the New York Jazz Critics Circle, and his Textures album won the prestigious 1998 JazzPar Prize from the Danish JazzPar Project in addition to an award from the French Magazine Jazzman. One of the celebrated figures in jazz today, Hall's creativity, like Metheny's, knows no boundaries.
Pat Metheny''s 1999 duo collaboration with Jim Hall, whom Metheny has called the "father of modern guitar playing," features 17 tracks reissued for the first time on Nonesuch - original tunes from each guitarist, several improvisations captured in the studio, plus six tunes recorded live in concert, including Gershwin''s "Summertime." "The excellence of the playing is the heart of the matter," says the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It''s a privilege to listen in." The Los Angeles Times calls it "extraordinary."
Pat Metheny
a.k.a. Patrick Bruce Metheny, Patrick Bruce Metheny, Pat Metheny Group
One of the most original guitarists from the '80s onward (he is instantly recognizable), P. Metheny is a chance-taking player who has gained great popularity but also taken some wild left turns. His records with the Pat Metheny Group are difficult to describe (folk-jazz? mood music?) but managed to be both accessible and original, stretching the boundaries of jazz and making Metheny famous enough that he could perform whatever type of music he wanted without losing his audience.
Metheny (whose older brother is the trumpeter Mike Metheny) started on guitar when he was 13. His talent developed quickly, he taught at both the University of Miami & Berklee while he was a teenager, and made his recording debut with Paul Bley and Jaco Pastorius in 1974. He spent an important period (1974-1977) with Gary Burton's group, met keyboardist Lyle Mays, and in 1978 formed his group, which originally featured Mays, bassist Mark Egan, and drummer Dan Gottlieb. Within a short period he was ECM's top artist and one of the most popular of all jazzmen, selling out stadiums. Metheny mostly avoided playing predictable music, and his freelance projects were always quite interesting. His 1980 album 80/81 featured Dewey Redman and Mike Brecker in a post-bop quintet; he teamed up with Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins on a trio date in 1983; and two years later recorded the very outside Song X with Ornette Coleman. Metheny's other projects away from the group have included a sideman recording with Sonny Rollins; a 1990 tour with Herbie Hancock in a quartet; a trio album with Dave Holland and Roy Haynes; and a collaboration (and tour) with Joshua Redman.
Although his '94 recording Zero Tolerance for Silence baffled his audience, Metheny retained his popularity as a consistently creative performer. In addition to recording for ECM, he has appeared as a leader on the Geffen, Warner Bros., and Nonesuch labels. Metheny has remained active in the 21st century, releasing Speaking of Now in 2002, the acoustic solo album One Quiet Night in 2003, Way Up in 2005, and Metheny Mehldau in 2006. Metheny and pianist Brad Mehldau returned to the studio the following year for Quartet. Metheny released the trio album Day Trip in 2008. Orchestrion, which featured a solo Metheny playing several acoustic instruments designed and built for him by Eric Singer, appeared from Nonesuch early in 2010. Metheny released What's It All About, in June of 2011, his second solo acoustic guitar recording. Unlike any other entry in his large catalog, the set was comprised entirely of covers of pop songs by contemporary songwriters (from Paul Simon and Lennon and McCartney to Antonio Carlos Jobim, Burt Bacharach, and Hal David) that that have continued to hold meaning for him throughout his career.
