Cooke, Mervyn – Pat Metheny

Description

Pat Metheny: The ECM Years, 1977-1984 offers a vivid account of jazz guitarist Pat Metheny’s first creative period, during which he recorded eleven albums for the European label ECM. This unique music reflects his passionate belief in the need to refashion jazz in ways which allow it to speak powerfully to a new generation, and the book provides a portrait of a fascinating but often overlooked period in jazz history.
