Pat Metheny is one of the greatest jazz guitarists around, and American Garage is one of his best albums.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
just a great piece of jazz done up in a way that appeals to most everyone. for the non-musician its light and airy while avoiding being so abstract that only jazz snobs might like it. for musicians it features lyle mays on keyboards and amrk egan on bass who along with pat metheny on guitar give tour de force lesson on crossover jazz done right with mass appeal.
Having discovered Pat Metheney in the mid 80's, I am now picking out some of his earlier stuff, and this one is very thematic with a number of sequences that arouse a sense of awe for the development of music in our country. Lyle Mays' piano interaction with the nimble fingered Metheny is meticulous, and it all balances out beautifully!
