Album: Pat Metheny, Unity Band (Nonesuch)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A partial return to top form for the widdly-diddly axe-meister.
The USP is that Unity Band represents Metheny's first group with a saxophonist for 300 years or so and Chris Potter is well up to the standard of his predecessor, the late Michael Brecker. With regular drummer Antony Sanchez perfectly matched to new bassist Ben Williams, there's an easy loping pulse to the best tunes (all Pat's own). Trouble is, there's also guitar-synth crime and the dread "Orchestrion".
