It is with great pleasure I recommend the Pat Metheny Podcast to you. It is a completly free Podcast available for download via iTunes. You get to hear Pat Metheny himself comment on some of his solo albums as well as some classic releases with other musicians and The Pat Metheny Group. On some Podcasts you can also listen to him tell the story behind an album or recording. These Podcasts gives you a great insight in to the music and mind of Pat Metheny. He is very interesting and entertaining and is almost as nice to listen to talking as he his playing. His passion for the music and playing really comes through on these Podcasts.
I have not listened to many of his albums but I got Question & Answer which I always enjoy listening to. It is a jazz album recorded with Dave Holland & Roy Haynes. My favorite album is One Quiet Night which was recorded in one night and is an amazing solo album with Pat playing acoustic and baritone guitar.
But now after listening to a few of these Podacasts I definitely will check out some more music by Mr Metheny.
