Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pat Metheny's '80 / 81' brought together a notable ensemble including Charlie Haden, Jack DeJohnette, Dewey Redman, and Michael Brecker. The double album places Metheny's melodic guitar voice in a freer and more post-bop-oriented context than much of his group work.
