Pat Metheny & The Heath Brothers • Move to the Groove

 


Review by Scott Yanow
Guitarist Pat Metheny and the Heath Brothers playing together? At first glance it might seem a bit illogical, but Metheny has always been a flexible player, able to play a variety of different styles. At a concert in France on January 28, 1983, he sat in with tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath on a few basic (and often blues-oriented) originals ("Sassy Samba," "Arthurdoe," and the blues "Moove to the Groove"), plus "All the Things You Are." Metheny, doubling on guitar synthesizer (which dominates "Sassy Samba"), sounds quite happy performing with the swinging Heaths and the combination works quite well. In addition, Metheny has an unaccompanied and mostly melodic "Guitar Improvisation." This CD concludes with two selections from a completely unrelated concert from Seattle in 1988. Trombonist Julian Priester is prominent in a group also including altoist Denny Goodhew, guitarist Robben Ford, Ralph Towner (normally a guitarist) on synthesizer, bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Jerry Granelli, and an unidentified wordless vocalist on one number. The music is atmospheric and the unusual group somehow blends together, particularly on the blues "I Could See Forever." Worth searching for.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
¿El guitarrista Pat Metheny y los hermanos Heath tocando juntos? A primera vista puede parecer un poco ilógico, pero Metheny siempre ha sido un intérprete flexible, capaz de tocar una gran variedad de estilos diferentes. En un concierto en Francia el 28 de enero de 1983, se sentó con el saxofonista tenor Jimmy Heath, el bajista Percy Heath y el batería Albert "Tootie" Heath en unos cuantos originales básicos (y a menudo orientados al blues) ("Sassy Samba", "Arthurdoe" y el blues "Moove to the Groove"), además de "All the Things You Are". Metheny, doblando en sintetizador de guitarra (que domina "Sassy Samba"), suena bastante feliz actuando con los oscilantes Heaths y la combinación funciona bastante bien. Además, Metheny tiene una "Guitar Improvisation" sin acompañamiento y mayormente melódica. Este CD concluye con dos selecciones de un concierto de Seattle de 1988 que no tiene nada que ver. El trombonista Julian Priester destaca en un grupo que también incluye al contralto Denny Goodhew, al guitarrista Robben Ford, a Ralph Towner (normalmente guitarrista) en el sintetizador, al bajista Charlie Haden, al batería Jerry Granelli y a un vocalista sin palabras no identificado en un número. La música es atmosférica y el inusual grupo de alguna manera se mezcla, particularmente en el blues "I Could See Forever". Merece la pena buscarlo.
