More From Pat Metheny

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.
Thinking Dancing Listening
The successful human being is adaptable. we have to adapt to changes in weather. we have to adapt to changes in climate. we have to adapt to changing economic circumstances. people that don't have the flexibility to adapt or who are afraid of change or who oppose it are going to be left behind.

Jazz is the greatest american art form and our greatest export. we don't pay attention to the youth of jazz, don't stoke the fires creatively for the youth coming up. i feel like jazz musicians became too much of purists - with donald byrd doing funk jazz in the '70s.

Reasonable men adapt themselves to their environment; unreasonable men try to adapt their environment to themselves. thus all progress is the result of the efforts of unreasonable men.
Men Effort Progress
I don't mind being classified as a jazz artist, but i do mind being restricted to being a jazz artist. my foundation has been in jazz, though i didn't really start out that way. i started in classical music, but my formative years were in jazz, and it makes a great foundation.
Artist Years Mind
I grew up in a home filled with music and had an early appreciation of jazz since my dad was a jazz musician. beginning at around age three i started singing with his band and jazz music has continued to be one of my three passions along with acting and writing. i like to say jazz music is my musical equivalent of comfort food. it's always where i go back to when i want to feel grounded.

Great communicators have an appreciation for positioning. they understand the people they're trying to reach and what they can and can't hear. they send their message in through an open door rather than trying to push it through a wall.

There is a way of living that has a certain grace and beauty. it is not a constant race for what is next, rather, an appreciation of that which has come before. there is a depth and quality of experience that is lived and felt, a recognition of what is truly meaningful. these are the feelings i would like my work to inspire. this is the quality of life that i believe in.

I never teach my pupils, i only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

Success is not something that can be measured or worn on a watch or hung on a wall. it is not the esteem of colleagues, or the admiration of the community, or the appreciation of patients. success is the certain knowledge that you have become yourself, the person you will meant to be from all time. that should be reward enough.
