Recorded live in Dallas, Texas; Nacogdoches, Texas; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Hartford, Connecticut; Sacramento, California in July, October and November 1982.
A double album that flirts with rock, folk, country and Latin - but is emphatically a jazz album. Metheny is equipped with probably his best ever live group; Steve Rodby, Dan Gottlieb, Nana Vasconcelos, and his right arm, keyboard virtuoso Lyle Mays. The recording exudes warmth, and often improves on tracks already issued on studio albums; for example, 'Phase Dance' is played with more verve and 'Song For Bilbao' sounds more passionate in a live context. The diamond in the mine, however, is the shortest piece - the glorious and delicate title track - worth the price of the album alone.

Pat Metheny Travels Songs Travels Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews PMG's Travels is Amazing
Weather or not you like jazz, this is a must have collection. PMG was hitting an early career peak and they were really on it in this recording. One of my favorites from this set is San Lorenzo - a definitive live version played to perfection! Goin' Ahead As Fall Witchita... is also tremendous. Other highlights include Phase Dance and Farmer's Trust, and a blazing version of Are You Going With Me? to open the double disc set.
What are waiting for? Just buy it!

One of the best, ever!
Pat Metheny is the most decorated jazz guitarist."Travels" is not only his best album, but arguably, the best LIVE jazz-fusion recording ever! I could go on-and-on about how impressive these live versions of "Are You Going With Me?", " Extradition", "San Lorenzo", & "As Wichita Falls, So Wichita Falls" are, but I won't.

If there is a heaven I believe that this kind of music is played there. The melodies are very contagious, addictive & organic. Nothing synthetic here. The compositions are phenomenal. The arrangements are from a higher dimension of musical reality. The performances are just mind blowing and staggering!!! The incredible chord-voicings & sounds Lyle Mays plays are crystaline & angelic! Truly my best Pat Metheny album...need I say more!!!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Phialdelphia Travels
In 1983 or so I was traveling in the street by car minding my own business listening to WXPN a great Philly radio station. On my errands they played,” Are You going with me"? I listened to Lyle Mays opening intro and was astounded when Pat opened with his synth solo. I traveled down 4th street crossing Market when I simply had to pull over. The solo was other worldly and to this day have never heard anything close to it. If you are looking for a music, no a spiritual experience, I highly recommend this album to all music fans. The piece set me on a course to write published poetry and books while listening to his music.

 MAGIC
This CD show for me the Metheny main style focus. All the tracks are in a way rappresentative of the PMG style. I like very much this recording and I suggest you in particular to hear "The Fields, The Sky" It's an Ethereal song on which metheny guitar sound texture is unique, irripeteable.
Check out This CD...Very good

Guitarist Pat Metheny's atmospheric, "smooth" (when that word didn't carry ugly connotations) jazz was just about ready to set the world afire when this Pat Metheny Group effort hit the racks. Metheny's was one of the tighter outfits in modern jazz when this eponymous album was released in 1978 on ECM, the label that really ...

$14.59
Pat Metheny's WATERCOLORS is sonically a much simpler record than many of his regular group's albums, but it's nonetheless a musically engaging venture that once again challenges the parameters of modern jazz. With his longtime partner keyboardist Lyle Mays, European bassist Eberhard Weber, and drummer Danny Gottlieb, Metheny leads the listener through a galaxy of ethereal moods, dancing rhythms, and soaring melodies. Add to this the underlying theme of water, and Metheny has all the ingredients for a musical ...
| | Pat Metheny 80/81 CDs (1980)
Travels
$28.89
Pat Metheny's credibility with the jazz community went way up with the release of this package, a superb two-CD collaboration with a quartet of outstanding jazz musicians that dared to be uncompromising at a time when most artists would have merely continued pursuing their electric commercial successes. From the disbanded Keith Jarrett American quartet came bassist Charlie Haden and tenor Dewey Redman -- who alternates with and occasionally plays alongside tenor Michael Brecker -- and Jack DeJohnette provides more combustible drumming than Metheny had ever experienced on record before. Yet Metheny's off-kilter wandering on solo electric guitar is a comfortable fit for the post-bop rhythmic crosscurrents of this music. Indeed, Haden and Metheny are in total sympathy, perhaps celebrating their mutual Missouri roots, and Metheny's difficult "Pretty Scattered" -- which he mockingly described as "Guitar Revenge!" -- ...

$15.65
Guitarist Pat Metheny has been working with long song forms since his career began in the 1970s. However, his 2005 release, THE WAY UP, takes the extended form to the next level. One composition split into four sections, this album just may be Metheny's most ambitious work to date.
Collaborating with longtime associates Lyle Mays (keyboards), Steve Rodby (bass), and a host of newer PMG members, Metheny embarks on a 68-minute sonic ...
| | Tommy Newsom Feeling Of Jazz CD (1999)
Travels
$9.79
This is a pairing of two tenor saxophonists not known for their work on that instrument. Tommy Newsom played mostly alto in the Tonight Show Big Band, while Peplowski is a prominent clarinetist, with his own groups and with Mel Tormé. Together they play delightful mainstream jazz, mostly standards, in as mellifluous a manner as one could ever need. Consistent throughout, in instrumentation and musical stance, they trade melodies in riffs like good conversation, play beautifully in unison, and are respectful in not stepping on toes. Newsom is quite direct and forward, clipping off bebop phrases with precision and dexterity. Peplowski adds wisps of air to his solos, deft, meaningful, a bit staggered at times. Both are undeniably swinging, and the complementary underpinnings of large-body acoustic guitarist Mike Peters and economical yet simmering pianist Ben Aronov give the frontmen plenty of space to freewheel at will. The title track and Buck Clayton's "It's Sand Man" show the sextet at its cooperative best, while each tenor gets individual space ...
| | It Tears Me Up: The Best Of Percy Sledge CD (1992)
Travels
$8.39
Percy Sledge's first single, "When a Man Loves a Woman," was an instant masterpiece of deep Southern soul, so powerful and so distinctive it made him a star overnight and helped to quickly establish Muscle Shoals, AL, as one of the major recording centers in the Southern music scene. However, "When a Man Loves a Woman" was such a big hit that it tended to overshadow everything else Percy Sledge did from that point onward; while he had a handful of smaller hits and still records and tours, few people outside of soul obsessives are aware of the full scope of his recording career. It Tears Me Up: The Best of Percy Sledge, a typically well-assembled compilation album from Rhino Records, features 23 songs Sledge cut for Atlantic during the 1960s and makes an excellent case for the consistent strength of Sledge's Atlantic ...

Before the Haverghasts, before the haunted asylum and the Crypts of the Foresaken, there was Arcacia, a ruined village by the sea with a dark past and a mysterious link to an ancient tower hidden away among the cliffs of the Northern Jarls. "Out of the Darkness (Retrospective: 1994-1999)" features re-recorded and re-mastered horror music classics from Midnight Syndicate's "Midnight Syndicate," "Born of the Night," and "Realm of Shadows" as well as four previously unreleased tracks.
