Pro Reviews: Quartet
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Pat Metheny has had such an unpredictable and diverse recording career that it is somewhat surprising that he has been able to hold on to his great popularity during the past two decades. This set with his "Group," a quartet also featuring keyboardist Lyle Mays, bassist Steve Rodby and drummer Paul Wertico, is generally quite introspective and is a bit unusual. After touring with his band for nearly a year, the guitarist decided not to record the group's current repertoire but to instead have a very spontaneous session. Metheny and Mays quickly wrote a full set of new originals (some of which were so open as to be nearly free improvisations) that emphasized their acoustic instruments and the quieter side of their musical personalities. Although a few of the 15 songs use a light groove, many of the pieces are either slow ballads or fairly peaceful sound explorations. Whether fans of the Pat Metheny Group will enjoy the music is open to question but jazz listeners who like to hear relaxed playing by masterful musicians (and who are patient enough to let the performances develop) will find this to be an interesting if moody release. - Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

Pros: Compositions. Recording quality. Acoustic intruments (string bass!). ...
Cons: none
Imagine what these geniuses can do with acoustic instruments and a more experimental (jazzy) approach than their recent commercial releases.
As a fan of the PMG I was delighted by this surprise because they really bring a new palette here and they do it with the same talent.
It is a more introspective music. It is appropriate for other situations, when you don't need predictable nor repetitious "rock-style" songs. When you don't want the musician to show you the way.
And there are times for this.
So thank you guys for the gift. ...
