Summary: Just what you want from a Metheny Trio.....Fantastic!
Comment: I got to see Metheny test out some of this music in a small club a few years back. It was a great show, and it translated well into studio material. Just Pat accompanied by bass and drums...a simple formula with delightful results. I don't want to talk this CD to death. If you know Pat's work, this is a wonderful, must-have sample of his material. If you're fairly new to Pat...give him a try. As I've said in other reviews, I'm not sure if I should classify him as straightforward instrumental electric (and occasionally acoustic) jazz or the lighter side of fusion. But, Pat has a unique sound, with a knack for sounding both uplifting and melancoly at the same time. This is simply fantastic...just Pat on guitar with bass and drums...simple formula with fantastic results! Enough said!

Summary: Metheney's trip is a good one
Comment: Pat Metheney has done it - again. His guitar work is its usual work of art. He also let's McBride and Sanchez show their impressive abilities as the trio grooves through numbers ranging from quiet and emotional to rocking. I've listened to the tracks a dozen times and I'm still finding new gems in the solos and the jams.

Summary: memories of
Comment: Jaco.....that writer in the Kansas City Star who after the show at the Jewish Community Center in 1977, described Pat Metheny's playing "like the wind in the trees" and I still can't think of a better description. The minimal configuration of the Pat Metheny Group is still my favorite.

Summary: Standard issue noodling...
Comment: I've more a less a fan of Pat Metheny's early work..I saw him seven times between 1979-1987. His early work was innovative, inspired, and fresh. I lost touch with the 1990-2003 work, but have listened to The Way Up, which I found a bit less focused, but within the context of the Metheny Group(i.e, with Lyle Mays) he doesn't disappoint. Day Trip seems to be off the cuff, spontaneous noodling. Not a bad thing, and his supporting players are excellent, but nothing really memorable here. If you're a die hard fan, get this. If not, stick with American Garage-Travels, his best stuff.

Our job is to be deeply in the moment, says Pat Metheny. Day Trip, the first release from Metheny's current trio lineup, featuring bassist Christian McBride and drummer Antonio Sanchez, vividly depicts the group at one particularly inspired moment. As Metheny explains, We did it the old-school way. We'd been touring for about four or five years at different times and then went in and recorded, rather than making a record and touring behind it. We worked like gangbusters and finished in a day, so the title Day Trip fit. Besides, this is kind of a trip band; they take you on a journey. The Day Trip sessions were recorded at Manhattan's Right Track studio in late October 2005 and sequenced into a ten-song set earlier this year. The album is being released in conjunction with a national tour the trio will embark upon in February 2008. Metheny already reconvened the group this fall for an enthusiastically received series of small market dates at colleges and theatres; the trio ended its preliminary run with four concerts in South Africa. Reviews from the daily U.S. press along the way have been a compendium of superlatives. The Buffalo News declared, Metheny is sharing his musical soul with the two finest musicians of their generation. The Times Union of Albany concurred: Christian McBride on stand-up bass and drummer Antonio Sanchez wove their way into Metheny's music... and played with a telepathic virtuosity. And the Louisville Courier Journal summed up the nightly reaction to the trio's sets: It was a collaborative tour de force that earned a standing ovation. Christian is an amazing musician and Antonio is the drummer of this generation, says Metheny. 35 year-old bassist McBride had played alongside Roy Hargrove, Freddie Hubbard and others, before stepping up to lead his own group; 36 year-old drummer Sanchez is a member of The Pat Metheny Group. On Day Trip, Metheny offers plenty of excitement in his solos and the trio cranks up the funk on "The Red One", (a version of which was previously released on Metheny's collaboration with John Scofield "I Can See Your House From Here"). However they generally eschew flash for a more easy-going groove; McBride calls it a softer, more traditional sound. Perhaps most eloquent among these tracks is the elegiac, folk-like melody of "Is This America?" (Katrina 2005). 2007 was an exceptional year for Metheny.
