Pat Metheny is probably the most influential and charismatic Jazz guitarist of recent decades. In a career spanning more than half a century, he has achieved something that very few musicians can say they have truly accomplished: the constant reinvention of the sound of his instrument while remaining true to his identity. His music, luminous and complex, is a seamless back-and-forth between melodic warmth and harmonic exploration, between the freest improvisation and the most detailed composition.

Born in 1954 in Kansas City into a family of musicians, Metheny began playing the trumpet at the age of eight, till he discovered, at the age of twelve, that the guitar was going to be the instrument he would definitively make his own. While still a teenager, he was already playing with the best Jazz musicians in his hometown, absorbing the pulse of the blues and the swing tradition that would come to mark his style forever. At just twenty, he made the leap onto the international scene alongside vibraphonist Gary Burton. Since then, his name has been associated with a new way of understanding what the Jazz guitar is: such smoothness and flexibility in his touch when he performs, with rhythmic and harmonic sensibility ahead of its time. And boundless curiosity.
