More From Pat Metheny

Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.
Understanding Levels Action
If we are too busy, if we are carried away every day by our projects, our uncertainty, our craving, how can we have the time to stop and look deeply into the situation-our own situation, the situation of our beloved one, the situation of our family and of our community, and the situation of our nation and of the other nations?
Family Community Looks
The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. if the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. when the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.
Music Spring Fall
My feeling about young people who want to pursue a career is - the first thing is do your homework on where it all started. go back and look at history. look at why the shows you are loving today happened and the artists you are listening to happened. and do your homework on history. whether it's musical movies, musical plays, broadway musical recordings - do your homework! and then, that way you will have an understanding of why, now, certain movies, certain plays, certain musicals are making some sort of sense.

Music is always for the listener, but the first listener is always the musician
Musician Firsts Music Is
To me, the musical is best when it's a musical comedy. so if you have a very, very funny show, and very good, funny songs, that's what the musical does best.
