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 The collection contains five tracks originally made available online as bonus tracks for Pat's recently released trio album Day Trip, with Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez.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