Album Notes
Pat Metheny Group: Pat Metheny (6- & 12-string guitars); Lyle Mays (autoharp, piano, synthesizer); Mark Egan (bass); Dan Gottlieb (drums).Recorded at Talent Studio, Oslo, Norway in January 1978.Personnel: Pat Metheny (guitar, electric 12-string guitar, 12-string guitar); Lyle Mays (autoharp, piano, keyboards, synthesizer, Oberheim synthesizer); Mark Egan (electric bass); Dan Gottlieb (drums, snare drum); Danny Gottlieb (drums).Recording information: Talent Studio, Oslo, Norway (01/1978).Photographer: Roberto Masotti.Guitarist Pat Metheny's atmospheric, "smooth" (when that word didn't carry ugly connotations) jazz was just about ready to set the world afire when this Pat Metheny Group effort hit the racks. Metheny's was one of the tighter outfits in modern jazz when this eponymous album was released in 1978 on ECM, the label that really mattered for them in the '70s.The Group's idiosyncratic blending of folk, blues stylings, improv spaciness, and supple rock underpinnings were unlike anything then happening in jazz. The opener, "San Lorenzo," establishes the mood. Ten-plus minutes of shimmering cymbals pierce a veil of stark bass, luminescent synthesizer motifs, and, of course, Metheny's resolutely gorgeous six- and 12-string picking. The music refracts differing hues in a prismatic puzzle. Sparse and beautiful.

The Breakout Album for Metheny
Created: 12/08/07
by:
This was the first album of Metheny I heard, back in 78, and I was simply amazed by the style of composition and arrangement between Metheny, Mays, Gottlieb, and Egan, the latter of which was a student of Jaco Pastorius and does similar fretless work as Jaco. Phase Dance was the most commercial of the songs on the album and shows how well Metheny can use a simple phrase over and over again and let the complex pieces come from piano and drums. I've probably listened to the song 1000 times. San Lorenzo, at over 10 minutes long, is equally amazing in that Metheny uses some simple arpeggios to form the foundation of the song.
Each of these musicians has done very well in their own right over the past 30 years, and it is real treat to listen to their real talent when so young and relatively new to music.

my first Metheny record
Created: 27/02/11
) Yes, i bought it as a record in 1980. Basically, this LP changed the way i heard and conceived instrumental music. This thing redefined jazz, I'd say. And set them off on a trajectory unequaled by any other jazzers. I mean, it's hard to even describe it as jazz, having so many other elements incorporated as it does. A true fusion of styles, not just rock/funk/jazz that others have done ad-nauseum. The whole Ameri-Euro rural/pastoral thing really took off on this recording. This was before they incorporated the whole Brazilian vibe to be heard throughout the many years following, to great effect. This CD rocks more, yet has the patented lyrical passages so endearing to many fans. When i heard this, i could barely believe people were making such beautiful music in a quasi-jazz-instrumental setting. They continue to make music that transcends and glorifies Music in its highest.
Pat Metheny "White Album"
Created: 28/12/10
I saw Pat in a small club (about 30 people) in 1978..I had heard "Watercolors", and frankly, thought PM to be a bit , well, mundane. Talented, but mundane. His licks were good, but uninspired, the pieces well thought out, but a bit too SMOOTH for my tastes. When a chance to see him came up, I jumped on it...the tickets were dirt cheap, and a bunch of us went.
He came out , walked up to his guitar, which was on a support of it's own..closed his eyes, and launched into a really violent version of "Phase Dance". I was hooked! At the end of the song, the audience was so moved, that for a good 6-10 seconds after the last notes faded, there was complete silence. Magic..pure and simple. Still, 32 years later, it has that effect on me.
If you're a Metheny fan, you need this...if you're not, try it out..you WILL be.

Found Again
Created: 03/02/08
) I originally bought this LP version in the late 80s, and had it on cassette for years. I had enough other Metheny CDs to keep me satisfied, but began longing for "San Lorenzo" and decided to get this CD. Arguably Pat's best single cut "Phasedance" is the second cut, and it moves the soul refreshingly again and again! This music is at one time soothing and arousing!
