Summary: Day Trip: Dynamic Post-Bop Perfection
Comment: This is amongst Pat Metheny's finest releases to date. To begin with, this trio is amazing, and I would go as far as to say that it's my favorite Metheny trio.
Antonio Sanchez's drumming perfectly contemplates Metheny's fluid, beautiful, and deeply articulate post-bop phrasing with such artful cleverness. He plays quietly, hanging in the background to allow Metheny to have his say, while making perfect elaborations with heavy cymbal use, but also not being afraid to speak up when the time is right, and exploding into drumming reminiscent of hard-bop Art Blakey.
Bassist Christian McBride is solid and is the glue that holds this magnificent trio together. He stays low and constant underneath Metheny's speedy and precise phrasing, while also keeping perfect rhythm with Antonio's abstract and artful drumming. Also speaks up when the time is right, though those moments are a bit sparse on this album, given the nature of the music and overall pace of Metheny and Antonio together.
Metheny is at his finest in this album. Upon a first listen I was unable to get into the new tone that Metheny had adopted, being a die-hard fan of Bright Size Life, I was lost without the cutting and sharp treble tone of Bright Size Life. Nevertheless, I continued to listen and found this album to be just as good, if not better. Metheny's tone has evolved quite a bit over the years and it's perfect for what he's playing and whose he's playing with on this album. His phrasing has become beyond exceptional and the soft lyrical quality of his phrases have become incredibly sophisticated to a profound point of articulation that leaves the listener speechless.
Not to mention the deep passion and emotion that lurks and is revealed through this album is dynamic, gorgeous, and revelatory. Day trip will always be one of my favorite Jazz albums of all time. If you are ever considering buying this album then I would suggest that you stop even "considering" it, and just buy it and give it a listen. And listen a few times. There's so much depth buried in the passions of this album that you will discover and feel more and more each time you listen through it.

Summary: Rightfully popular
Comment: Pat Metheny convened another well-regarded trio in Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez for touring and two CD's. This is the first one, "Tokyo Day Trip Live EP" is an addendum of sorts. This CD starts off mild-mannered (it's overall fairly mild-mannered), but that doesn't mean there isn't great playing or improvisation. "Let's Move" takes Pat's lyrical guitar playing to a faster tempo. "Is This America?" is a soft acoustic guitar song. I like it, though since it's a tribute to New Orleans I hoped it would be better. "When We Were Free" has a catchy melody, and Pat uses a more overdriven guitar tone and then his guitar synth - it's one of the better songs. "Dreaming Trees", like most songs with "dreaming" in the title, is a nice acoustic song. "The Red One" is familiar from the Metheny-Scofield album "I Can See Your House From Here". Pat's one-guitar version is entirely credible, the mark of a well-written song. "Day Trip" ends the CD with a bunch of very good, and happy, notes. I think any Pat Metheny fans would like, and any fans of mainstream jazz guitar. There are some people (like me) who aren't fans of the "marshmallow Pat" but like the "serious jazz Pat". If you're in that category, you'll like this one.
