Pat Metheny - Sueño Con Mexico

To go along with this Pat Metheny favorite, I've collected some photos of Mexico -- landscapes, buildings, and of course, the people. Also, there are some photos of Pat himself :) Enjoy!

BTW, about 10 years ago, I saw Pat play with Joshua Redman at the Village Vanguard in NYC. We were right in the front 2 seats and Pat had a basic acoustic guitar with nylon strings - 5 feet away from us--- was like having him playon your front stoop or living room. He did this mind bending intro for the Redman Quartet and it was just absolutely phenomenal. And the acoustics in that basement are triangulated and perfect- see Coltrane- Live at the Village Vanguard as one of many examples.

@lateforthesky61 Wow, that sounds incredible. A truly memorable experience! I've seen Pat live about 4 times over the years at different venues, but never in an intimate setting like that. The outdoor shows were the best.

Doesnt really get better than this. Such heart. Still profoundly and intensely moving even after all these years.

@Sal1675 Well said--I agree w/u wholeheartedly.

@jazzsaavy Thank you for the compliment on the video. It is a truly great song...one I never get tired of listening to. Pat is a phenomenally talented musician and artist. I'm glad you enjoyed viewing the video and my attempt at artistic expression.

First heard this back in the day. When Pat first released "New Chautaqua". What a little slice of heaven this is! If I recall, The whole album was completely SOLO. And that was back when the studios didn't have all the electronic goodies they do now so this was a masterpiece in its time. Sueno Con Mexico is absolutely heavenly! Thank you Pat!

"discovering Pat's music was a TRUE BLESSING for me too"

I cannot imagine my life without Pat's music -There's no way to explain this to those who haven't experienced it ...

Thank you for posting this song.

seek beauty....

everything you ever wanted, hoped for and will ever need an aural experience. Simply magic. Way back then, and even better now. Thanks Pat. (Imagine everyone is listening to this on the way home from work).

@lateforthesky61 Wow, that was a wonderfully expressed synopsis of Pat's music. I agree, there is so much feeling and emotion in his music. Sorrow, joy, longing, and fulfillment. You are spot on. What about "If I Could" from the First Circle album? Incredible song...it will have you in tears and not know why you are crying. Thank you for your comment.

@gmcummings Thank you. GMC. This is such special special music. I cant get the chords out of my head. They simply keep endlessly raining on me like cool cleansing showers from above on a warm summers night.
