Movie Reviews of Pat Metheny Group - The Way Up - Live [Regions 1 & 4]

Movie Review: The way Up
Summary: 5 Stars

Didn't think he would have recorded his piece on Video but he did. This is a truly a great piece of modern music.
And you get to see musicians work their craft.
My only compliant is about editing. After the piece was over, The credits rolled over on black. You didn't see the players bowing or the audience giving deserved applause, just sound. EGO? or resisted EGO. Or what? I don't know. Perhaps you can come up with the reason why that choice was made.

Summary of Pat Metheny Group - The Way Up - Live [Regions 1 & 4]

Pat Metheny is one of the most original and distinctive guitarists of modern times. Together with long time collaborator and keyboards player Lyle Mays he founded the Pat Metheny Group in 1978. Instantly successful, they have established themselves at the forefront of jazz-rock fusion with a succession of best selling albums and sell out world tours. This new DVD, filmed in late 2005, features the full concert version of his most recent album ?"The Way Up?", which earned Pat Metheny Group their 10th Grammy Award?? and Metheny personally his 17th.

Bonus Features
Interview with Pat Metheny (22 mins).

Pat Metheny fans know by now what to expect from a recorded performance by the guitarist and his group, and it's all here on The Way Up - Live: superb, versatile musicianship, mixing virtuoso soloing with telepathic ensemble interplay and sustained moments of majestic passion and intensity; intricate rhythms and time signatures; sweeping textures punctuated by some memorable melodic passages; and, from a purely technical standpoint, superior sound and visuals. Yet The Way Up is a bit different, and a good deal more challenging. First heard on the group's 2005 CD of the same name (this performance was recorded in Seoul, South Korea), it's a long, ambitious piece of music consisting of four lengthy parts, all played without pause. For a live audience, it's more like taking in a classical music concert than a jazz or rock show; there are melodies and grooves, but no tunes, per se, as the piece mostly lacks the song-like appeal of much of the Metheny Group's best known work. Composed by Metheny and Lyle Mays, his longtime partner and keyboardist, the music constantly evolves over the course of its 70 minutes (Metheny himself changes guitars like Cher switches costumes), to the point where you might not actually recall much of it when it's over. But you'll certainly remember the experience of watching and listen to these seven brilliant musicians at work; and like the Seoul audience, you will be wowed. An interview with Metheny is the sole bonus feature. --Sam Graham
