Metheny is playing 5-6 times in montreal!!

[headygouda]

I guess I'm a bit slow on this, but I just found out that Pat Metheny will be playing in 5-6 projects throughout jazzfest in montreal early july! If I had known about this early, I would be all over this but I already have other plans.

You folks in montreal or nearby will be sooo spoiled.

I can only imagine what some of these one-time ensembles will be like. Please, someone go stealth this!!! This is sure to be the highlight(s) of the jazzfest.

Its time like this that I wish I had a transporter.

WOW! I would love to hear Metheny play with the man who discovered him, Gary Burton!

I saw gary burton last summerand and man, that guy has an ear for guitarists...he was playing with this 16 year old phenom named Julian Lage...the kid was AMAZING! THat and the Bad Plus opened up for them...it was actually the reason I went to the show, but I was blown away buy Burton and his quintet...

Damn! I'm coming to Ontario right before that, but flying back to BC on the 4th! D'oh!

You guys have to get out to one or more of those gigs. Trust me. If you don't you are simply depriving yourselves of an unreal experience.

Click here to check out a review I wrote of his show in Vancouver a couple months back. Mind blowing!

All this metheny talk has inspired me to put on toronto's performance... definitely the best show I've seen in years, and that was the tour opener!

I'll gladly BnP this show for anyone who wants to experience 'The Way Up'. Best 68-minute song ever. What an amazing, live experience!!!

Did anyone tape that vancouver gig? Only a handful of this tour's gigs have been recorded, and many of them do not sound that great, mostly lacking in the bass.

Unfortunately, simply listening to Antonio Sanchez does not do him justice. That man is sickly insane.

When I listen to metheny, it makes me wonder why I bother listening to all the other 'jammy' stuff I'm so crazy about.
