By Ray KItz He gives the appearance of a '60s rock star, with long frizzy hair and faded jeans. He looks strangely out of place along side three great veteran jazz musicians. But Pat Metheny is himself a jazz star, skilled in both old and new styles of jazz. He displayed his considerable talent on November 20 at the Fine Arts Center here at Stony Brook. The concert was filled with improvisation; saxophone trills, sliding bass notes, and complicated drumming. Saxophonist Dewey Redman, bass plaver Charlie Haden, and drummer Paul Motian brought with them a pure old style jazz, distinctly different from the Earl Klugh smoothness of Pat Metheny's familiar sounds. There was some standard melodic Metheny, but traditional jazz ruled the night. Paul Motian, who has played with everyone from Carla Bley to Arlo Guthrie, sounded like a child prodigy having a very imaginative tantrum at the drum set. His percussion also had variation from song to' song. Once, .0 he gave a surprisingly entertaining rendition of what could be called "cleaning out the garage." Motian's drumming shined for its complexity, not for mere speed or volume. 33 Bass player Haden was the unfortunate victim of a §• bad mix. He was difficult to hear even during his solo. Perhaps that is just as well, because the solo ran too long to maintain interest. Redman's solos were fine, but so his solos were outstanding, fast and pr . and he wen G' tional jazz was excellent.
