Retro Chicken

Everyone was always talking about Pat.

“I met Pat here.” “I used to play with Pat.” “Did you hear Pat’s new album.” “Dude, Pat rocks.”

I have the album 80/81, and yes - it is very awesome, but why so much hype?

This clip (featuring Pat Metheny and Michael Brecker) explains everything - true you need to be a jazz-head to appreciate it - but Pat sounds incredible. His leads and comping are tremendous - it is just a shame I lived in ignorance of “the true awesomeness of Pat” for so long.
