Principally recorded at The Hit Factory, New York, New York in 1994.

WE LIVE HERE won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance.

The Pat Metheny Group have always been on the move. Previous album titles such as THE ROAD TO YOU, OFFRAMP and LETTER FROM HOME indicate a proclivity for motion, and on their latest production, WE LIVE HERE, they show that their home is a constant state of travel. Throughout these nine songs they challenge the listener to not go with them.

The Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays composition team works with hooky structures which provide foundations for thoughtful, and, at times, passionate improvisations. The rousing riff behind "Stranger In Town" serves as a jumping-off point for one of Pat's many stunning solos. With a full, warm sound, he masterfully develops his improvisations as if he were telling tales, weaving lines through carefully fabricated collages of harmonic color. Thematic and motivic development are standard in Metheny's playing, and he expresses his ideas with such conviction and craft that you may find yourself humming them later.

Another highlight of WE LIVE HERE is the propelling percussion of Luis Conte. From the hip-hoppish groove of "Here To Stay" to the fierce, tribal soundscape supporting the title track, Conte always adds the right juice to the mix.

The Pat Metheny Group are at home when they are playing with fire--sometimes smoldering, sometimes blazing, but always burning.

Pat Metheny Group: Pat Metheny (guitar, guitar synthesizer); David Blamires (vocals); Mark Ledford (vocals, whistles, flugelhorn, trumpet); Lyle Mays (piano, keyboards); Steve Rodby (acoustic & electric basses); Paul Wertico (drums); Luis Conte (percussion).

Pat Metheny: Mark Ledford (vocals, whistling, flugelhorn); David Blamires (vocals); Pat Metheny (guitar, synthesizer); Lyle Mays (piano, keyboards); Steve Rodby (upright bass, bass guitar); Paul Wertico (drums); Luis Conte (percussion).

Additional personnel: Dave Samuels (cymbals); Sammy Merendino (drum programming).

Additional personnel: Dave Samuels.Entertainment Weekly (1/20/95, p.53) - "...With a sure instinct for sleek grooves, Metheny travels a path between jazz, Latin-esque ideas, and, this time out, soft-core R&B--with winning musicality..." - Rating: A-

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Sensational
All of Metheny's stuff is great. This particular set has such sparkle. Often when a group plays together playing the same type of stuff for so long, a kind of staleness arises; not so with these guys. Man oh man, can Pat play. Metheny is the most decorated guitarist in jazz history, and this one is among his best work. Every song is a gem: they swing, they're funky, they're tricky, and yet Pat's as fresh as a teenager in his American Garage. Whether you think you've heard it all from Metheny, or you're just discovering him, you should really love this one, and if you don't, you have no ear!

"We live here", is the PMG's best cd.I remember when this cd first came out and Pat Metheny gave this cd a new sound which was at this time fresh for the group. This is their best cd.

Picking up where Still Life (Talking) leaves off (instead of throwing listeners a curve ball like Song X), the equally triumphant Letter from Home stresses Brazilian elements with superb results. While a number of these treasures -- including "Beat 70," "Have You Heard," and "Every Summer Night" -- are light and accessible enough to have enjoyed exposure on some smooth jazz stations, Letter contains the type of depth and honesty that's sorely lacking in most smooth jazz. ...

We Live Here album
CD $13.49  4.4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
The second installment of the Hard to Find 45's series is, like the first, a wide assortment of Top 40 hits, some of them indeed very hard to find on CD or even hear on the radio. Some of them are not really that hard to find on CD, though this disc (like every one in this series) takes pains to present original 45 RPM single versions, often in stereo. Whereas the first volume was devoted to material from 1955-1960, this goes into the next era (1961-1964), and though it's pretty pop-inclined, there's a good deal of diversity. There's doo wop verging on soul by the Stereos ("I Really Do Love You," the Flares' "Foot Stompin'," Clyde McPhatter's ...

The third album from Richie Spice makes a couple of things very clear. First, he's a fine singer and an even better songwriter, capable of dropping completely convincing dancehall, hip hop and roots-and-culture material without seeming to break a sweat. Second, he needs someone to give him some discipline in the studio and steer him clear of such waste-of-time touches as chest-beating intros (and outros) and exploitative recordings of adorable children talking about their career plans and then chanting "We love Richie Spice!." The less time he spends on that stuff and the more he spends on stern anthems of racial consciousness ("Black Like a Tar"), of impending apocalypse ("Earth a Run Red") and of horticultural devotion ("Marijuana"), the better. He's also in fine form when expressing somewhat less ...

Morgan Packard's debut solo full-length, Airships Fill the Sky, finds him folding cello, accordion and saxophone into a decidedly digital context -- involving fragmented elements of techno, house, breakbeat-oriented microsound and post-ambient tendencies -- retaining his acoustic sensibilities in earnest, while taking advantage of his long-time immersion in a variety of electronic genres. While he has further honed the melodic, textural meanderings from some of his past work, here Packard returns to his rhythmic ...
