Pat Metheny is not only a very popular guitarist, he is also one of the great improvisers in jazz and a prolific composer. In this five-part series, he talks to Ian Carr about his career, recalling first his upbringing in America around Kansas City.
Friendship with Jaco Pastorius led to their playing with pianist Paul Bley , but Metheny's big break came when vibraphonist Gary Burton decided to turn his quartet into a quintet by including him.
