Pat Metheny convened another well-regarded trio in Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez for touring and two CD's. This is the first one, "Tokyo Day Trip Live EP" is an addendum of sorts. This CD starts off mild-mannered (it's overall fairly mild-mannered), but that doesn't mean there isn't great playing or improvisation. "Let's Move" takes Pat's lyrical guitar playing to a faster tempo. "Is This America?" is a soft acoustic guitar song. I like it, though since it's a tribute to New Orleans I hoped it would be better. "When We Were Free" has a catchy melody, and Pat uses a more overdriven guitar tone and then his guitar synth - it's one of the better songs. "Dreaming Trees", like most songs with "dreaming" in the title, is a nice acoustic song. "The Red One" is familiar from the Metheny-Scofield album "I Can See Your House From Here". Pat's one-guitar version is entirely credible, the mark of a well-written song. "Day Trip" ends the CD with a bunch of very good, and happy, notes. I think any Pat Metheny fans would like, and any fans of mainstream jazz guitar. There are some people (like me) who aren't fans of the "marshmallow Pat" but like the "serious jazz Pat". If you're in that category, you'll like this one.Free Music Review: Day Trip

I'm going to have to say I was disappointed with this album for a number of different reasons. I'll start by saying that it is not by any stretch a bad album, per-se. Metheny does have some serious chops and his new trio-mates, Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez, are both excellent musicians that I have liked for a while in their own rights. Those concessions aside I have to say that I feel like Metheny is stuck in a rut musically speaking. I think its such a shame that Metheny sounds just like last time here. Not that Metheny sounded bad the last time around, just that I was hoping for something different or new to come with the new trio. If there is any exploration here it is tepid at best. At first when I began listening to this album, it struck me as pretty good standard Metheny affair. I found I could not stomach an entire albums worth of it though and began to zone out during Metheny's solo's. The album became for me a vehicle of the two other trio members who are both in fine form here. Still, however, a disappointment.Free Music Review: What Happened to Pat?

I am a Pat Metheny fanatic but, this CD was very disappointing. I guess I am not use to him performing with other artisit. The classic Pat for me is the Pat Metheny Group with Lyle Mays.Free Music Review: You need to take a "Day Trip".
Hit: 5 Stars
I have listened to this over and over, I can't get enough. One of Metheny's most mature and enjoyable releases. What a pleasure to hear these three great musicians together. Pop this CD into your car stereo and I guarantee you won't be so aggressive behind the wheel. Enjoy.
