Front Row · A fan’s more than 30 years with Pat Metheny

August 6, 2014 Unity Group

Sean ended his Strathmore review with a wish:

“Hopefully, one day I will find a way to shake Pat Metheny’s hand again and thank him for his unique inspiration.”

Four and a half months later, after the Unity Group’s show at Wolf Trap, he got the chance.

Sean’s one-line description of the clip on YouTube: “Bassoon vs Bass Clarinet.” The bassoon thread goes back to Lisner in 1997.
