Pat Metheny

This 1982 recording by the Pat Metheny Group represented a crossroads for the guitarist, a creative expansion from his original concept in terms of acoustic and electric instrumentation, folksy roots material and modern jazz influences, American and third world sources. Having thus marked out the territory for a decade’s worth of experimentation and growth, the Metheny Group cemented its standing on the cutting edge of contemporary jazz with Offramp.
