First started listening to Pat Metheny back in 89, for a treat listen to his collaboration with Kenny Garrett on Garrett's "Pursuance: The Music Of John Coltrane" listen to him then together on "Lonnie's Lament"
This one's a favorite of mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApI-zA6suXE"]YouTube - Pat Metheny Group - Have you heard
Mr. Metheny is met sometimes with derision among some jazz lovers... The man has been out to the edge and back, no doubt. I heard San Lorenzo in 1976 and in the first three or four seconds I knew that the world had been shifted on it's axis a bit. Within 12 months I had experienced that live. I've had the pleasure of hearing him perform and I've spoken with him and shook his hand on two occasions. There isn't a more gracious or pleasant human being on the planet. Gotta love his attitude toward music, other musicians, and the beauty of all jazz music. I need much else in my ears, much more than only Pat's recordings, but I would never want to be without them either.
