Must admit that this album was very standard Pat Metheny. Although very good it is not out of the ordinary.Free Music Review: Another great one

Buy this one now. We'll all be enjoying it for years to come. I find the drummer especially good, as well.Free Music Review: Day Trip
Hit: 3 Stars
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: Old recordings - Not from the current tour.
Hit: 3 Stars
Although this trio is out touring now, these are older recordings from the fall of 2005 (before the Mehldau project). Not that that's bad, but calling this a "new" album is somewhat misleading.
This is typical of Pat's more recent work - Absolutely great playing all around, but the tunes themselves are not particularly memorable. If you've kept up with Pat's music over the years, you'll recognise some of these tunes from earlier albums. It's nice to hear a different take on this material.
If you want another jazz guitar trio album, you won't go wrong here - Pat does this stuff better than just about anyone and this album holds up well along with his earlier trio work. Stronger tunes would've be nice, though...
Free Music Review: Standard issue noodling...
Hit: 3 Stars
I've more a less a fan of Pat Metheny's early work..I saw him seven times between 1979-1987. His early work was innovative, inspired, and fresh. I lost touch with the 1990-2003 work, but have listened to The Way Up, which I found a bit less focused, but within the context of the Metheny Group(i.e, with Lyle Mays) he doesn't disappoint. Day Trip seems to be off the cuff, spontaneous noodling. Not a bad thing, and his supporting players are excellent, but nothing really memorable here. If you're a die hard fan, get this. If not, stick with American Garage-Travels, his best stuff.
