"One Quiet Night".

. . . I had inadvertently started on the road to doing something that had been lingering in the back of my mind for some time . . . a whole record with one single guitar, no overdubs or extra parts; to do a totally solo acoustic guitar record--in this case, on the baritone guitar.

. . . This record is about essentially one sound, basically one mood, and taking the time to go deep inside that single world.

. . . these recordings have offered a window into a way of thinking about music that I honestly found myself drawn to on that evening, a way that continues to fascinate me in the subsequent time I have spent with this guitar and tuning. Also, I have broached a subject that I had only occasionally addressed and hope to continue to pursue on occasion, possibly with different guitars--the unique and challenging world of solo guitar playing.

--Pat Metheny

Has anyone heard it?

I'll probably buy it based on his comments alone. He is one of my favorite guitarists. Pat Metheney Group has produced some of my favorite Sunday morning music. He has a signature sound that I always appreciate. This one is different, but I enjoy acoustic guitar as well. Let me know what you think if you get it first.

I love Sueno Con Mexico by Pat Metheny - just a guitar solo, but so layered and gorgeous. Long-ago Child / Fallen Star on the same LP is equally blissful...
