Pat Metheny : Stories beyond Words
Pat Metheny - Book - by Bob Gluck
(2024)
An in-depth exploration of the style and influence of Pat Metheny, a
truly distinctive musical voice of our time. Guitarist and composer
Pat Metheny, among the most acclaimed, visionary musicians of our time,
has for five decades toured with his many creative musical projects,
most prominently the Pat Metheny Group, while collaborating with
celebrated artists, including Charlie Haden, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock,
Ornette Coleman, and Steve Reich. Bob Gluck, whose perspective as
pianist, composer, and educator has illuminated the music of Herbie
Hancock and Miles Davis in his two previous books, now focuses his lens
on the music of Metheny. Neither a biography nor chronological record of
Metheny’s musical output, Pat Metheny: Stories beyond Words instead
captures Metheny’s self-conception as a musician and the threads that
unite and distinguish his creative process.
Drawing upon a
wealth of new interviews and close readings of musical examples, Gluck
offers a bird’s-eye view of Metheny’s musical ideas. Among these are the
metaphor of storytelling, the complementarity of simplicity and
complexity, and the integrated roles of composer, performer, and band
leader. Much like Metheny’s signature style, this book is accessible to a
wide range of readers, presenting new clarity, musical insight, and
historical perspective about the legacy of Metheny’s groundbreaking
music.
