That fluid, clear tone; those soaring, orienting tunes. They have been discussed in relation to jazz for many years, ever since Pat Metheny made his stage debut in 1976 at the age of just 22. At 65 years old, he is a well-known figure in the music industry and the only recording artist in history to have won ten Grammy awards. With his most recent CD, From This Place, Metheny continues to travel forward in search of awe-inspiring new landscapes. Metheny says he aimed to evoke the sumptuous vistas connected to American film music in the notes he composed to go with the record. The Hollywood Studio Symphony and Metheny’s current working quartet also appear on the record to create that cinematic sound.
