Pat Metheny - That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be (Carly Simon)

Pat Metheny: "What's It All About" (available June 14th)

"To me, there were always several interesting things about this piece," Metheny says of Carly Simon's first major hit (That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be), "not the least of which is the way that she moves from root minor key to the major key just a half step above it so effortlessly in a way that is almost invisible. But also, I always just thought it was a great melody, with that big leap at the end of the first phrase. And form wise, the way it goes through this whole thing and then starts back up again to make the same build again. My take on it harmonically colors in some of what I always thought was implied in there."

After nearly 40 recordings under his own name, this is the first Pat Metheny album where there is not a single Metheny composition represented. This is a personal view of ten classic songs, some very well known, some less so, filtered through the harmonic and melodic ideology of a modern master with a most individual approach.

I just realized that he's playing in a deep, dark, dank underground tunnel underneath San Fransisco.

Jon Gomm + Pat Metheny. One day it must happen...

[ChristianHinkle]

the sounds of this move me to be better as a musician...an instrument in hand is a vehicle to expression, not an obstacle as it is easily as it can be to percieve it to be......but this......thank you Pat if ever you were to read this for the mastery of your creativity..... this is soulful
