Pat Metheny

Pure Pat Metheny

Pat Metheny is the most influential and successful guitarist in the jazz world today – and far beyond. It doesn’t matter whether the musician from Missouri, who has won his twenty Grammys in a world-record twelve different categories, even thinks in terms of genres such as »jazz«. In the almost seventy years of his life and fifty years of his career, this »most industrious creative force in jazz«, as the New York Times called him over ten years ago, has played his way into the Olympus not only with his various bands, but also alongside artists as diverse as Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman and David Bowie. The concerts of the »Dream Box« tour will reflect his very different solo productions in different ways. Pat Metheny himself announces that it will be »a pretty extensive and challenging evening for him with a lot of variety and different approaches«. For those who listen, it will also be a pleasure – and certainly unique.
