1998

1h 33min

Pat Metheny Group: Imaginary Day Live captures the band at a creative peak, turning the ambitious sound of the 1997 album whit the same name as the DVD into a vivid concert experience. Where Pat Metheny’s lyrical guitar lines moves between gentle beauty and explosive improvisation, while Lyle Mays adds harmonies, shimmering keyboards and dramatic shifts in mood. And Steve Rodby’s bass and Paul Wertico’s drumming gives the music both weight and flexibility. As they are supported by intricate percussion and atmospheric textures. So the performance moves easily from intimate reflective passages to complex, high-energy ensemble playing of their blending jazz, rock, world music and cinematic soundscapes.
