Photographers: Milan Horacek; Ron Pownall; Dieter Jahnig; Dieter Rehm. Now well into its gliding Brazilian-tinged mode, the Pat Metheny Group hits the road, as this two-CD set catches the band live in Dallas, Philadelphia, Hartford, Sacramento, and Nacogdoches, TX. Percussionist Naná Vasconcelos is still listed as a "special guest," but ever since Wichita Falls, he had not only been a part of the group, he was the transforming element in the Metheny "sound," adding his various shakers, effects and ethereal vocals. Sidekick Lyle Mays gets deeper into floating, glistening synthesizer textures, but he is still able to take formidable and touching solos on acoustic grand piano. Still experimenting with new hardware, Metheny's work on a detuned guitar synthesizer gives the live "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls" an exotic Balinese-like sound. Other highlights are the hard Brazilian grooves on "Straight On Red" and "Song for Bilbao," as well as the trademark Metheny glide of "Are You Going With Me?" -- and the brief title track has a winning, guileless simplicity much like that of Keith Jarrett in a prayerful mood. If you liked the popular Offramp, you'll fall for Travels, too, but get the former album first. ~ Richard S. Ginell 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.Record Collector (magazine) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Metheny used these dates to channel his Brazilian muse, effectively utilising guitar synthesizers to give the group an increasingly electronic, but always innovative and satisfying, arrangement." 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.

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.

An Elysium come true!!!!!! 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!!!!!

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. Submitted by yotrust (Irealnd) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
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 Submitted by Andrea (Italy) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Additional personnel: Nana Vasconcelos (percussion, vocals, berimbau). Engineers: Jan Erik Kongshaug, Gragg Lunsford. Recorded at Power Station, New York, New York in October 1981. If 1980's As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls was defined by Pat Metheny's charisma, its less accessible but certainly rewarding successor, Offramp, finds him leaning more toward the abstract. But as cerebral as Metheny gets on such ...

Travels
$14.59 Personnel: Pat Metheny (guitar, 12-string guitar, 15-string harpguitar); Lyle Mays (piano); Eberhard Weber (bass); Dan Gottlieb (drums). Recorded at Talent Studios, Oslo, Norway in February 1977. Pat Metheny emerges on his second album, Watercolors, as an ECM impressionist, generally conforming to the label's overall sound while still asserting his own personality. As the title suggests, there are several mood pieces here that are suspended in the air without rhythmic underpinning, a harbinger for the new age invasion still in the future. Metheny's softly focused, asymmetrical guitar style, with echoes of apparent influences as disparate as Jim Hall, George Benson, Jerry Garcia, and various country guitarists, is quite distinctive ...
