WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
On Live Montreal '89, Pat Metheny/Charlie Haden/Jack Dejohnette is represented by a substantial programme with roots in Jazz. Songs such as Blues for Pat, The Bat and The Calling Part 1 establish the musical range, while the full sequence shows the shifts in intensity that define the performance.
It is a useful release for listeners who already know the best-known recordings and want to hear the material from another angle. The archive-style presentation emphasises atmosphere, repertoire and performance detail rather than trying to recreate a studio sound.
