For almost 40 years, 19-time
Grammy Award–winning guitarist
Pat Metheny has stood at the
forefront of contemporary jazz. The
Pat Metheny Unity Group may be his
most accomplished and ambitious
project yet, a combination of his
human collaborators – Chris Potter,
Antonio Sánchez, Ben Williams
and Giulio Carmassi – and the
Orchestrion: a gargantuan, guitarcontrolled electromechanical
orchestra that Metheny personally
designed and created.

Returning to Australian shores
for the first time in two decades,
Pat Metheny delivers a dizzyingly
complex multi-instrumental
masterclass in jazz dynamics and
improvised musicianship, proving
once again why he takes pride
of place among the pantheon of
progressive jazz gods.
