«An Evening with Pat Metheny» Feat. Antonio Sánchez, Linda May Han Oh & Gwilym Simcock
2017 20:00 24.10.Grand Auditorium Mardi / Dienstag / Tuesday Jazz & beyond «An evening with Pat Metheny» feat. Antonio Sánchez, Linda May Han Oh & Gwilym Simcock Pat Metheny guitar Antonio Sánchez drums Linda May Han Oh bass Gwilym Simcock piano Pat Metheny photo: Jimmy Katz Pat Metheny, au-delà de la guitare Vincent Cotro « J’ai atteint un point où j’ai tant composé que tout n’est qu’une grande composition. Avec Antonio, Lina et Gwilym, nous allons explorer cette composition pour en faire, je l’espère, quelque chose de vraiment grandiose ». Pat Metheny, présentation du concert lors du festival Jazz sous les Pommiers, mai 2017 Né en 1954 dans le Missouri, Patrick Bruce Metheny découvre à onze ans Miles Davis puis Ornette Coleman et commence la guitare à douze ans, après s’être essayé à la trompette et au cor. Il écoutera et décortiquera les solos de Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell ou Jim Hall et se produira dès quinze ans avec les meilleurs musiciens dans les clubs de Kansas City. Alors qu’il se passionne pour John Coltrane et Clifford Brown, il rencontre Gary Burton en 1974, année de son explosion sur la scène internationale. Aux côtés du vibraphoniste, il développe ce qui deviendra sa caractéristique : une articulation plutôt relâchée et flexible habituellement observée chez les « souffleurs », combinée à une sensibilité harmonique et rythmique très développée. Son premier disque avec Jaco Pastorius et Bob Moses en 1976, « Bright Size Life », réinvente en quelque sorte la tradition sous des apparences de modernité, pour une nouvelle génération de guitaristes. On voit apparaître sa passion pour la musique d’Ornette Coleman qui se manifestera largement ensuite et jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Bill Evans •••••••••••••••••••••• Turn out the Stars the Final Village Vanguard Recordings June 1980
6 DISC SET Bill Evans •••••••••••••••••••••• Turn Out the Stars The Final Village Vanguard Recordings June 1980 Though these extraordinary 1980 recordings were made only months before pianist Bill Evans’ untimely death on September 15, 1980, at the age of 51, they capture a beginning far more than an end. At the time of their initial release in 1996, jazz critic Gary Giddins hailed them as “an important find – the most lyrical of improvisers was revitalized by a new trio in his favorite jazz club.” Fellow Village Voice writer Will Friedwald concurred: “Evans is as irrepressibly romantic as ever on these live recordings, but at the same time there’s an aggression to his playing that makes these newly discovered documents some of the most exciting music of his career... he proves that he can really tear into the keyboard and still sound like Bill Evans. Continually prodded by [bassist Marc] Johnson and [drummer Joe] LaBarbera even as he's inspiring them, this is tenderness supported by strength and even bite.” Evans had clearly found players to match his first trio from 20 years earlier, which had cut a landmark live recording at the Village Vanguard in 1961. That now-legendary lineup of bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motion was shattered by the tragic death of LaFaro in a car crash. A sense of history and a feeling of renewal inform these 1980 sessions, and they illustrates the serious chemistry between Evans and his young accompanists. As pianist and friend Hank Danko recalls in his liner-notes essay, “When the trio lit into its ensemble passages, the impact was not unlike that of a roaring big band.

Dana Podcast Transcript
Transcript of Dana Podcast—Pat Metheny’s Brain on Music Guest: Pat Metheny was born in Kansas City on August 12, 1954 into a musical family. Starting on trumpet at the age of 8, Metheny switched to guitar at age 12. By the age of 15, he was working regularly with the best jazz musicians in Kansas City, receiving valuable on-the-bandstand experience at an unusually young age. Mr. Metheny first burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974. With the release of his first album, Bright Size Life (1975), he reinvented the traditional "jazz guitar" sound for a new generation of players. Throughout his career, Mr. Metheny has continued to re-define the genre by utilizing new technology and constantly working to evolve the improvisational and sonic potential of his instrument. As well as being an accomplished musician, Mr. Metheny has also participated in the academic arena as a music educator. At 18, he was the youngest teacher ever at the University of Miami. At 19, he became the youngest teacher ever at the Berklee College of Music, where he also received an honorary doctorate more than twenty years later (1996). Over the years, Mr. Metheny has won countless polls as "Best Jazz Guitarist" and awards, including three gold records for Still Life (Talking), Letter from Home, and Secret Story. He has also won 20 Grammy Awards in 12 different categories. Host: Bill Glovin serves as executive editor of The Dana Foundation. Prior to joining Dana Mr. Glovin was senior editor of Rutgers Magazine and editor of Rutgers Focus.

Cover Photo: Paul Winter Consort, 1975 Somewhere in America (Clockwise from left: Ben Carriel, Tigger Benford, David Darling, Paul Winter, Robert Chappell) CONSORTING WITH DAVID A Tribute to David Darling Notes on the Music A Message from Paul: You might consider first listening to this musical journey before you even read the titles of the pieces, or any of these notes. I think it could be interesting to experience how the music alone might con- vey the essence of David’s artistry. It would be ideal if you could find a quiet hour, and avail yourself of your fa- vorite deep-listening mode. For me, it’s flat on the floor, in total darkness. In any case, your listening itself will be a tribute to David. For living music, With gratitude, Paul 2 1.
