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 The collection contains five tracks originally made available online as bonus tracks for Pat's recently released trio album Day Trip, with Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez.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.

    Jeremy Denk's album Ives Denk is out now. Released in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Ives' birth this Saturday, it features the composer's four violin sonatas, performed with violinist Stefan Jackiw, as well as remastered versions of his Sonatas No. 1 and 2 for piano, from Denk's debut recording, Jeremy Denk Plays Ives. "Mr. Denk's playing exuded affinity for Ives and vivid imagination," the New York Times says. "Mr. Jackiw, deftly balancing fervor and elegance, beautiful tone and earthy colorings, proved a comparably inspired Ivesian." Denk writes of Ives' music in the Times: "Its animating idea is generous: A restless search to find more in America than we thought, or even hoped, to find ... His best advice—advice we could all use—is to open your ears."
