Pat Metheny & Charlie Haden! Two for the road

[Jazzical28]

At first, I was like, 'whoa! Pat, you're rushing the tempo of this beautiful Henry Mancini classic'. But as I allowed myself to settle down, only then did I realize if there's anyone that can rush the tempo and still maintain the originality & melody in a tune, it has to be Pat. 3-Cheers :) Thanks for this great upload. Loved it to the last click :)

facil



[garbear38]

i didn't know dwight shrute played stand up bass???

[Ghostman1229]

Fantastic playing. WOW amazing player one of my all time favorite players.

[asgabeler]

I absolutely loved this film when it came out my favorite Audrey Hepburn/Albert Finney performances and the flash forwards and flashbacks well they were so cool and new to me in films... But If Pat could have done this for the film it would have transported it to a new place indeed. Thanks for posting !!!!!

[libertatus]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

[ener1094]

es verdad este duo va a quedar en la historia del world music.

[LedZeppelin803]

hey, anyone know the song on their album which has a chord progression like this:

Cm Ddim C/Eb C/E Fm

first four chords all quarter notes, Fm whole bar

C/Eb without E natural, just Eb, C, G

Those with the knowledge, please have the kindness to share : )

[jgl2222]

This is so mellow......

[nycbassist]

Definitely one of Henry Mancini's best songs, too.

[jorodd]

@nycbassist This was Mancini's favorite of the songs he wrote.

[insyncmusic]

Beyond The Missouri Sky is one of the all time classic (and really "timeless") jazz collections in contemporary music. If I had only five I could choose from on the proverbial desert island, this would be in there solid. Thas' right!

[paula0moore]

Another gorgeous Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny collaboration - a favorite - Two For The Road

[Intersounds]

Awesome duo, thanks for sharing

[PatriksTube]

Guys... this is magic. Thank you for sharing.

[PatriziaBluette]

Incatatissima! Grazie!

[maidoodesu]

very nice !  ですね.

[pitoloco]

pat troll style is cool !!!

[hunnyface12345]

:) im singing this in the jazz group at my school! so pretty!

[mazzini13]

Simplemente impresionante.

[libertatus]

Loved the music but by 4:00 I realized that there wasn't even enough time Charlie Haden to take a chorus or two.

[MichaelBalam]

amazing!

[JonPhillipsMusic]

Using a pick on a nylon string guitar? Metheny is good but I seldom appreciate his tone. At least there's no chorus/

[lanerant]

I guess you've got your reasons for it, but I feel that a pick can sound quite nice on a nylon string guitar. this performance not being an exception.

It's funny how different tastes can be. I think Metheny's tone is one of my favourite tones ever!

[FrancescoGuardi]

It's ok to me if you like this bassist, but I don't like the guy at all.

Saw him in an interview and his attitude is: O, I'm so important!

It's not my taste...

[max010161]

Charlie Haden è uno dei maggiori contrabassisti ancora in circolazione!

[mikeroephonics]

I'm right there with ya. I heard he eats the apples from the lowest branch, if you get my drift, and I think You do now.

[doddsalfa]

@FrancescoGuardi if you don't like this bass player you don't like music, simple as that. Charlie Haden is a very humble man.

[FrancescoGuardi]

@doddsalfa Bullshit.There's music I like -beyond Haden.

[FrancescoGuardi]

I know I'll be killed for it, but WHAT A BORING BASSIST IS MR.HADEN...

[serdestassio]

man u r soooooooooo!!! wrong!!! this kind of music must like you to listen if you want give yours ears to the great bassist Victor Wooten... but don't say that about Charlie Haden he has a GREAT Talent and touch...

see you

[lanerant]

the thing about Haden that makes him more than you want to hear him as is his choice of notes! while it might seem like he pedals a note for too long or does these simplistic chromatic passages that just go boomp boomp boomp boomp, the harmonic scenarios that he is creating while doing so are staggeringly brilliant. Like hi studied Richard Wagner more than Ray Brown or Milt Hinton.

[FrancescoGuardi]

Are we talking about the same clip? The harmonic scenario is created exclusivly by Metheney, Haden only makes his straight duty. And, chromatic passages - where ? It's all straight harmonical function.

[lanerant]

yeah i suppose in this clip he is doing a little bit of a pedantic job, I wrote my response before listening based on the dozens of C. Haden albums I have listened to over the years. I am surprised that in this setting he is using a chart for one of Mancini's more well known tunes! he is a little more form over style but in general Haden's things is that chromatic pedal/walk.

[FrancescoGuardi]

Ah,I understand. I don't know so many recordings from C.H.

For this clip I imagine how it would be with Gary Peacock or Orsted Pedersen or so...

[doddsalfa]

@FrancescoGuardi never as good:)Charlie Haden is the greatest timekeeper in history of jazz,also the greatest sounding dbplayer.

[mildlad]

love this song. sad thing is that it is not popularly recorded. anyone can point me to a vocal version of this song? thanks

[lvbjblond]

YES monica mancini SINGS IT HER FATHER WROTE IT hENRY MANCINI THIS WAS HIS FAVORITE SONG  FROM THE MOVIE 2 FOR THE ROAD

[gasserized]

nylon string ,real sweet sound fair play..

[sniperz77]

VERY WELL DONE!

[Jazzman1985]

Unbelievable.

[astaire2012]

you guys should check out Andread Oberg, and Paco de Lucia...

This song is awesome...

[MauriceFlower]

Golden shimmer!

Oh, I would like to have this through a high end sound equipment. Just lovely. Top world class!

[Nordkroken]

Beutiful sound and technic

[cartuner22]

every time pat surprises me and leave going  wow!

[Bopeliano]

Beautiful ... Beautiful ... Beautiful ... I love the way this tune is rendered by these awesome musicians ...

[rsanti101]

I don't know which is the best music of Pat they are all excelent every song composed, each unigue in it's on way he is just a genius, these two have a great chemistry beyond Missouri sky is just one of my favorites so relaxing!

[raphtx]

This is definitely one of the best duos ever.

The connection between Pat and Charlie is symbiotic, and both manage to keep a great sobriety that makes all the genius and serenity of what is being played. Brilliant.

[doddsalfa]

Pat never better,Charlie great.

[Pinswan]

There is no better music for me in the World than Beyond the Missouri Sky. It has given me so much happiness. I missed the concert in Sardinia by 2 daays and I will never recover from it. Unless Pat and Charlie decide that they would like to come to Wales and play in the land of song.

[718194]

19.F here

lets talk! 3x

[jazzsaavy]

you know sometimes i forget pat uses a pick almost seems like hes a finger and thumb guitarist as if the pick would slow the guy down he even admits hes unorthodoxed with the pick the way he uses it thanks to you and charlie for beyond the missouri sky that chemistry is fantastic

[vampiroangelico]

Actually I've been using the pick the very same way, ever since I started learning jazz guitar in Rome (Italy) back in 1985.

I've been playing anything from fusion, metal, progressive rock, classic rock, to samba, classic, new age, and I still love how much rounder the sound of the strings is, when you position the pick the Metheny way. On top of composing beautiful, amazing music, the man will get credit for his guitar pick position!

:-)

[moco635]

tremnedous stuff..thx for taking my mind off all the $ i'm losing in this market...5mins of easing my mind.....

[Politeama]

I love this melody, and also the movie, my very favorite by Miss Audrey Hepburn & Albert Finney. What a magic film. Excellent. I like this guitar rendition too.

[sachary]

the run at 2:17 was just dead on

[00disintegrator88]

When I first heard "Two for the Road" I couldn't hold my tears. Mancini is a genius. This one is a nice interpretation.

[keepthemusicplaying0]

Brilliant!

[tazzo999]

I think Pat play a custom built Linda Manzer Flattop classical guitar

[sammysamsamtimmy]

can anyone link to an accurate tab? thanks if you can.

[jdlazar]

Stunning!

[Bopeliano]

Beautiful tune ... interprété par une merveille de duo ...

[mikecadett]

look at that guitar shine! lol

[mikeroephonics]

Yeah, I got an eye full of his yellow Ibanez when I saw him live. He keeps those instruments in top form!

[braz152]

I give a candy for the one who discovers what music Pat mentioned on his last notes just before the music ends.

[utube9000]

Braz152 - the music he plays right before the end is "Oh Susanna"

What kind of candy do I get?

[CatalinayClaudeJ]

Very nice medley of one of my favorite tunes played throughout the Audrey Hepburn/Albert Finney film of the same name. Sad movie but Audrey shines (as usual).

[Rentaghost76]

Why would someone use a pick on a nylon string guitar? It sounds awful.

[Stanford1690]

Metheny makes it sound great. He gets a clear, warm sound that is perfect the music he's playing. It just has a slightly more noticeable attack than a nylon string without a pick would have.

[NicolaBenso]

What kind of guitar he use?

[paladin520]

It's an acoustic six string with nylon strings. From the insignia on the headstock, it looks like an OVATION guitar. I might be wrong, as Mr. Metheny can afford just about any hand made ax he might want. There is a cord coming from the body, telling me it's electrified, but he also has it mic'd in front. I was always a 100% acoustic guy, so I'm at a loss regarding the electrification aspects. I always found it... electrifying!!! : I don't detect any sound changing gadget when I listen.

[rodite]

It's a Linda Mazner. Check out her sight online. Last I heard she had stopped taking orders. She makes all of Pat's guitars except his souped up es 175 which he no longer plays on the road. He's an Ibanez artist.

[Demoras]

The wonders of blending piëzo pickups and microphones :)

Also, judging from the headstock it is actually an Alhambra guitar.

Love this tune!

[paladin520]

I hear this piece and the car goes faster, toward something in the near future, just around the corner...waiting for me to experience it...and live.

[bradley1107]

I know exactly what you mean...

hmm paladin..Have gun will travel one of my favorite shows. Is that the Paladin?

[paladin520]

yep...the old Richard Boone show.

[CatalinayClaudeJ]

So sad that dear man, and great actor, who also taught acting,died of lung cancer in the early 70's. His favorite leading lady was gorgeous blonde Vera Miles. Paladin is dearly missed. A REAL MAN!

[posemami]

I love this music. Metheny is such a good jazz guitarist. Merci klaurent13!!!

[guitarGido]

Thanks for this series!! I'm extremely fond of their duo CD. Doesn't allow you to stray offo or think technical about it, but focusses you on the MUSIC :-) Nothing missing, a complete picture.

[Bopeliano]

So am I (fond of that album, and of your interesting comment ; ) ; ).

[anandaemail]

that was a thing of beauty, raw emotion.

[Bopeliano]

YES !!!

[foggarty0]
