2008 Tokyo Day Trip (EP)

Label: Nonesuch

Musicians: Pat Metheny, Christian McBride, Antonio Sanchez

“This is a great companion piece to the studio release of Day Trip. Musically it’s all over the map; two acoustic ballads (Inori, Night Becomes You), screaming rock fusion (Back Arm), one very esoteric ECM sort of tune (Tromsb), and one glorious straight ahead jazz piece which to me is the highlight of the entire album (Traveling Fast). If you like Metheny in a trio format then you probably loved Day Trip and I’m guessing you’ll love this. His musical companions are both monster musicians themselves, so you’ve got the best of all worlds here. These three can seriously play!” —Amazon.com
