It's way too early in the New Year to be making sensible
predictions, but hey, let's drive in the center of the road for a
moment: if guitarist Pat Metheny's Day Trip doesn't end up amongst
the top half-dozen albums of 2008, some very powerful voodoo
indeed must be coming round the corner.
Day Trip is, unquestionably, amongst Metheny's best ever discs, up
there with previous masterpieces like Song X (Nonesuch, 1985),
made with saxophonist Ornette Coleman, and Trio 99-00 (Warner
Bros, 1999), whose guitar/bass/drums line-up and in-the-tradition
aesthetic it replicates. It's gorgeous, shimmering, voluptuous
music, gloriously free of the fusion excesses which have marred
many of Metheny's projects with larger line-ups.
The album was recorded at New York's Right Track studio in a
single day in October 2005, between gigs, with bassist Christian
McBride and drummer Antonio Sanchez. A loose, heads and solos,
tune-up-and-go feel permeates the session, on which Metheny proves
that he is, when he chooses to be, today's most gifted
practitioner of the flowing, consummately lyrical style of guitar
playing forged by Johnny Smith in the 1950s.
All ten tunes are Metheny originals; most inhabit the bright and
effervescent territory for which he's become best known, but not
all. "Is This America? (Katrina 2005)," one of two tracks on which
Metheny plays the acoustic guitar, is a lament for the devastation
visited on New Orleans in 2005, and by implication a criticism of
the inadequate Federal response to it. It's followed by "When We
Were Free," a loaded title and an appropriately edgy tune. With
these two tracks, one is reminded of Metheny's nicely judged
comments on the Reagan administration (seems like he's retained
the attitude along with the hair).
Among other highlights is the riff-driven, blues-based "Calvin's
Keys," a tune which would have sat happily in the Wes Montgomery
set-book circa The Incredible Jazz Guitar (Riverside, 1960), but
around which Metheny casts his own inimitable harmonic spell. Less
successful, to these ears anyway, is the rock/reggae outing, "The
Red One," revisited from Metheny's collaboration with John
Scofield on I Can See Your House From Here (Blue Note, 1994).
Metheny is simply too sophisticated a stylist to get down and
nasty with total conviction, though he makes a fair stab at it.
Aside from that small question mark, Day Trip, overflowing with
brio and melodicism, is a triumph.
