Prague – American guitarist Pat Metheny will perform on April 29 in Prague instead of the originally announced Karlín Forum at the Hybernia Theater, where he will present the Side-Eye project. In it, one of the most influential living jazz guitarists gives an opportunity to younger musicians. Jiří Sedlák informed ČTK about this on behalf of the organizer.
“I wanted to create a platform for the rotating cast of younger generations that fascinated me. In my early days in Kansas City, I developed through the older musicians who hired me. Their experience and the functions their music put on me.” said the 67-year-old Grammy Award winner.
Last year, Metheny released the concert album Side-Eye NYC (V1.IV), on which he played keyboards with James Francies and drummed Marcus Gilmore. True to his intention to replace the young guitar, however, the player will bring another line-up to Prague.
For keyboard instruments used by Chris Fishman, who began learning piano and drums at the age of four and performed with local Southern California bands at the age of seven. He later graduated from the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and the Manhattan School of Music. Trio will be joined by Joe Dyson, who began playing percussion instruments as a child during church services. He completed his formal music education at the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts, then received a presidential scholarship to the Berklee College of Music. He has performed on five continents and probably made thirty albums.
Metheny has been playing since he was thirteen, and from highly jazz and moody projects he has also moved towards rock, pop and calmed film music. Metheny’s Prague concert Secret Story Tour from May 1993 won the Jazz Kája prize at the time. They appeared in the metropolis on We Live Here (1995), Imaginary Day (1998), Speaking of Now (2002) and The Way Up (2005). The key jazz composer of the last four decades has performed again at the JazzFestBrno festival.
