:Guitar Wizard Pat Metheny Plays Belleayre August 11


Highmount, NY - Pat Metheny, “the most outstanding jazz guitarist of his generation,” with his Unity Band, closes out the Catskill Mountain Jazz Series at the Belleaye Music Festival in mesmerizing style on Saturday, August 11 at 8 p.m. The final weekend of Belleayre’s jazz series gets underway with a freewheeling musical experience featuring vibraphonist extraordinare, Stefon Harris and Blackout playing “Jazz for the Here and Now” on Friday, Aug. 10 at 8 p.m in the Belleayre Jazz Club. Nineteen-time Grammy winner and Downbeat Poll’s #1 Guitarist, Pat Metheny burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974.

He quickly established his trademark playing style, which blended the loose and flexible articulation customarily reserved for horn players, with an advanced rhythmic and harmonic sensibility. With his first album, “Bright Size Life,” he reinvented the traditional “jazz guitar” sound for a new generation of players.
