Pat Metheny

• 2X VINYL GATEFOLD EDITION

Legendary guitarist Pat Metheny is beginning the latest chapter of his career with a new album called Road to the Sun.

The record is the first to be released by Metheny’s new label Modern Recordings, an imprint of BMG. The release marks the end of his two-decade run with Nonesuch and kicks off an exciting new era for the 20-time Grammy Award winner.

Produced by Steve Rodby, Road to the Sun, features two new Metheny compositions performed by leading guitarists Jason Vieaux and the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet.

Vieaux performs a four-movement solo guitar suite called Four Paths of Light, while the Grammy-winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet takes on the album’s six-movement, 25-minute titular centrepiece.

Pat Metheny plays on the final track – and that’s not even his own composition but Arvo Pärt’s Für Alina.
