Today marks the release of Pat Metheny's new Tokyo Day Trip Live EP. The collection contains five tracks originally made available online as bonus tracks for Pat's recently released trio album Day Trip, with Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez.

"There was such an outpouring of demand from listeners," Pat explains, "that we decided to compile the recordings all in one place and release them together as a set."

On the EP are the two Nonesuch Store bonus downloads, "Traveling Fast" and "Tromso," as well as three additional pieces, "Inori," "Back Arm & Blackcharge," and "The Night Becomes You," all original compositions by Pat that had never been released before. The recordings come from a recent run of performances that the trio played in Tokyo.

"One thing that has been great about this band for me," says Pat, "is the incredible range that Antonio and Christian bring to the music." He continues:

I have the feeling with them that we could do almost anything, and that freedom is inspiring, not only as a player but as a composer. These extra tracks show aspects of our trio that represent a range of other areas that we have explored over the years.

    Composer and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire’s honey from a winter stone is out January 17, 2025, on Nonesuch Records. The album, which Ambrose calls a “self-portrait,” features improvisational vocalist Kokayi, pianist Sam Harris, Chiquitamagic on synthesizer, drummer Justin Brown, and the Mivos Quartet. Akinmusire says, “In many respects this entire work is inspired by and is an homage to the work of the composer Julius Eastman and his organic music concept." The opening track, “muffled screams,” is out now.

It includes sixty-five previously unreleased music tracks as well as a forty-eight-page hardcover book with previously unpublished photos and a new liner note by Grammy-winning writer Bob Mehr. An alternate version of “Handshake Drugs,” recorded during the studio sessions at New York’s Sear Sound, twenty-one years ago this month, is out now. There will also be a new vinyl pressing of the original album in a two-disc package, and a two-CD expanded version of the original album with bonus track highlights from the full deluxe edition repertoire. The two-CD version will also be available on streaming services worldwide.
