Tracks list

Last year, for the first time since 1980, guitarist Pat Metheny recorded with a
band that highlighted tenor saxophone. Unity Band, which went on to win Metheny
his 20th Grammy Award, featured Chris Potter on sax and bass clarinet, longtime
collaborator Antonio Sanchez on drums, and Ben Williams on bass. Now, Metheny
has added another musician, multi-instrumentalist Giulio Carmassi, and
christened the ensemble Pat Metheny Unity Group.

Metheny says of this new Group, “The core quartet of Chris, Ben, Antonio,
and me played more than 100 concerts over the year that followed the release of
our Unity Band record. Over the course of that period, the band became one of
those rare combinations of players where the whole is greater than the sum of
its parts; it gelled in every way, and that just seemed to beg for expansion and
further research.” He continues, “Simultaneously, I had been itching
to write using more of a lush and orchestrated kind of concept that went beyond
the sonic limits of what a straight-ahead quartet might invoke. But I really
didn’t want to lose the energy, focus, and intensity of what this band
had developed. I wanted to take it further. If the first Unity Band record was a
thoughtful, black and white documentary of four musicians in a recording studio
playing, this record is more like the Technicolor, IMAX version of what a band
like this could be—but with that hardcore thing still sitting right in
the middle of it all.”

„These pieces are closer to the romantically inclined, soaring melodicism
of the Pat Metheny Group, yet retaining the energy of the Unity Band. Its a
craft duality that makes for this albums appeal from an artist whose musical
curiosity remains undiminished as he approaches his 60th birthday.“
(Jazzwise)

„The album takes guitar-led improvisation to new aesthetic, Methenys
eloquent guitar etching a kaleidoscope of sonic hues.“ (Mojo)

„By adding Guilio Carmassi to his current quartet, Metheny has brought
lush colour to a band that gloried in tight, telepathic interplay. For
latecomers to Methenys wide oeuvre, the Unity Group is a great place to
start.“ (BBC Music Magazine)
