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).

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!

Pat Metheny Road To You: Recorded Live In Europe CD  (1993) Remastered

We Live Here
CD $13.69  Audio Samples
"The Road To You" won the 1994 Grammy Award for "Contemporary Jazz Performance." One the thing the Pat Metheny Group has always been known for is being able to pull off everything it can do on record in front of a live audience. THE ROAD TO YOU captures Metheny and his men on a European tour playing for ecstatic fans that even sing along to the guitarist's enchanting melodies. For their enthusiasm they are treated to explosive performances of many of Metheny's best works. Longtime members Lyle Mays, Steve Rodby, and Paul Wertico and multi-instrumentalists Armando Marsal and Pedro Aznar round out the group. All of the group's "hits" are here, including the blistering "Have You Heard," which opens the show with a first-of-many jaw-dropping solos by the leader. The dramatic "First Circle" makes for an exciting live piece as Aznar's vocal work and May's delicate piano styling offer many pleasing moments. The crowd erupts at the first notes of the favorite "Last Train Home, " long a Metheny chestnut. The grandest moments, however, come with the exhilarating "Beat 70" and the stunning closer "Third Wind." Also included are some new compositions like the eclectic "Half Life Of Absolution" and Metheny's tender acoustic piece ...

Pat Metheny Quartet CD  (1996) Remastered

CD $13.69  4 stars Audio Samples
The current Pat Metheny Group, which includes keyboard wizard Lyle Mays and the rhythm section of Steve Rodby and Paul Wertico, is a family of artists that has spent more than a decade developing and exploring its own musical terrain. On QUARTET, Metheny fans will find many familiar tonal colors and aural landscapes, but a new geography of ethnic influences brings a different, more stark background to the free improvisations, especially in the middle section of the disc. While much of this band's previous material has taken its inspiration from the horizontal, spacious phrasing and harmonies of Brazilian music, other sources appear here, as on "Badland," which has an Arabic tonality and a darkness that is new (and welcome) to the Metheny canon. While many of the songs begin with ...

Airships Fill The Sky/Unsimulatable
Morgan Packard Airships Fill The Sky/Unsimulatable CD  (2007) With DVD

We Live Here
CD $18.45
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 roots, and continues to filter his jazz and classical background through everything he does. Deftly using his self-made software techniques, he puts these pieces together with a view towards the hypnotic power of the loop, coupled with a distancing from it. From the opening title track's accordion lines to house bumps, to "Mink Hills" -- with its symphonic clusters sitting harmoniously in layers of horizontal sound and clattering percussion pops -- to the unabashedly funk-filled synth movements of "Waterbugs" -- Packard manages to span a variety of musical choices and retain a coherence throughout. The accompanying ...
