Pat Metheny's new trio record, Day Trip, is in stores tomorrow, and, in a four-star review, the Guardian's John Fordham says the album "combines the elegance of [Metheny's] lyrical fast-improvising, the eloquent pizzicato and bowed bass-playing of Christian McBride, and the explosive contemporary drumming ... Antonio Sanchez."
What's more, writes Fordham, Day Trip includes
jubilant improvising from all three, on the kind of bluesy grooves, Latin swingers and inviting ballads that suggest Wes Montgomery has returned to life and found the hippest 21st-century world-music partners he could ... Metheny's full of great improv ideas, and all three sound as if they are really enjoying themselves.
