Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden & Jack Dejohnette, live at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, Salle Marie Gerin-Lajoie, Montreal, Canada on 5th July 1989

Having played with John Coltrane, Sun Ra, Bill Evans, Ornette Coleman, Keith Jarrett and many others between them, bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Jack DeJohnette were already jazz legends by the time the young Pat Metheny began to make waves in the mid-70s. This unique set was broadcast on Radio Canada in the Salle Marie Gerin-Lajoie during Montreal’s International Jazz Festival on July 5th 1989, and finds all three musicians driving each other to remarkable peaks. It’s presented here with background notes and images.
