Jazz Record Art Collective presents Jim Barclay & Friends performing the 1978 release PAT METHENY GROUP on Wednesday, March 11th at FSC The evening will feature live painting from visual artist TBA. “Many elements that became defining traits of the band’s overall sound were in place on this album, namely Metheny’s incorporation of several different guitars and Mays’s fusion of electronic and acoustic keyboards to create a fuller, more harmonically sophisticated foundation for the melodies and solos. This is notably evidenced on “Phase Dance” where Metheny introduces the main melody on an acoustic guitar and then switches to electric to play one of the improvisational solos, with Mays providing the foundation on keyboards before playing the other solo. “Phase Dance” quickly became a signature song for the Group, most often played in concert as an introductory piece. “Jaco” is a tribute to Jaco Pastorius, who pioneered the fretless electric bass in jazz fusion.” ~Wiki Chris Siebold – Guitar Chris Mahieu – Keys Patrick Williams – Bass Jim Barclay – Drums 7pm Doors 7:30pm Show $15 Suggest Donation FREE PARKING
