Happy Birthday Pat Metheny!
Hi, WA Friends
Have you heard of Pat Metheny, the American Jazz guitar prodigy?
Heis a world-class player and has taught guitar theory and composition at the University of Miami and the Berklee college of music with Gary Burton (Jazz vibraphonist). Pat has been awarded two honorary Doctorates in music from Berklee and McGill University!
He has recorded over 50 albums with the Pat Metheny Group and other musicians in Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Progressive Jazz, and Latin Jazz. We're talking about a Jazz Monster!
Pat also took Jazz composition on the guitar synthesizer to a new level!
Some of his musical collaborations include playing with Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorius, JohnScofield, Jim Hall, Tony Williams, David Bowie, and Joni Mitchell!
Believe it or not, Pat is the only artist to win Grammy awards in ten different categories!
If you're not familiar with his music, you owe it to yourself to take a listen!
Happy Birthday, Pat!
