Metheny/Mehldau

A collaborative project pairing American guitarist Pat Metheny and American pianist Brad Mehldau; released the album Quartet in 2007.

Pat Metheny is an American jazz guitarist; Brad Mehldau is an American jazz pianist. Pat Metheny has used the 42-string Pikasso guitar by luthier Linda Manzer. The duo released the albums 'Metheny/Mehldau' (2006) and 'Quartet' (2007).

Second collaboration by Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau (Quartet, 2007). Reviews praise execution and refinement but criticise a perceived lack of innovation and an overly intellectual, concert-oriented mood. Specific tracks (e.g., "Long Before", "Santa Cruz Slacker") are noted as high points. Overall a polished but contested entry in their collaboration.
