Pat Metheny was born in Kansas City on August 12, 1954 into a musical family. He started playing the trumpet at the age of 8 but later switched to guitar at age 12. By the time he was 15, Metheny was already performing with some of the best jazz musicians in Kansas City, gaining valuable experience at a young age.

In 1974, Metheny made his mark on the international jazz scene during his three-year collaboration with vibraphone great Gary Burton. His unique playing style blended loose and flexible articulation typically reserved for horn players with an advanced rhythmic and harmonic sensibility. With his debut album "Bright Size Life" released in 1975, Metheny revolutionized the traditional sound of jazz guitar for a new generation.

Throughout his career, Pat Metheny has continuously pushed boundaries by incorporating new technology and exploring the improvisational and sonic potential of his instrument. He has collaborated with renowned artists such as Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Milton Nascimento, Joni Mitchell and David Bowie among others.

Back In Stock

There are only a handful of living musicians who can continually reinvent themselves year after year, and even fewer still who can claim to have maintained equal degrees of innovation and sheer excellence across a career spanning decades. Pat Metheny is one of the few artists in the world who can lay claim to such a description. Road To The Sun is yet another unexpected and genre-defying new recording from the 20 time Grammy winning guitarist/composer Pat Metheny. This recording features two major extended works for classical guitar. "Road To The Sun" is performed by the legendary Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and performing Pat’s new solo guitar piece, "Four Paths of Light," is Grammy winning virtuoso, Jason Vieaux. ​
