PAT METHENY 'American Garage' ECM Vinyl LP (1979 Jazz)

Year of release: 1979

Recorded at Longview Farm in Massachusetts, this was the most collaborative writing yet between Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays, and the guitarist has singled out 'Airstream' as a favourite from the period. The keyboardist adds autoharp and Oberheim synth to his piano and organ, while the closing 'The Epic' wanders far enough for the bandleader to call it 'all over the map'. Wide-open, sunlit fusion for long drives.

Condition: New/Sealed/Mint
