Our job is to be deeply in the moment, says Pat Metheny. Day Trip, the first release from Metheny's current trio lineup, featuring bassist Christian McBride and drummer Antonio Sanchez, vividly depicts the group at one particularly inspired moment. As Metheny explains, We did it the old-school way. We'd been touring for about four or five years at different times and then went in and recorded, rather than making a record and touring behind it. We worked like gangbusters and finished in a day, so the title Day Trip fit. Besides, this is kind of a trip band; they take you on a journey. The Day Trip sessions were recorded at Manhattan's Right Track studio in late October 2005 and sequenced into a ten-song set earlier this year. The album is being released in conjunction with a national tour the trio will embark upon in February 2008. Metheny already reconvened the group this fall for an enthusiastically received series of small market dates at colleges and theatres; the trio ended its preliminary run with four concerts in South Africa. Reviews from the daily U.S. press along the way have been a compendium of superlatives. The Buffalo News declared, Metheny is sharing his musical soul with the two finest musicians of their generation. The Times Union of Albany concurred: Christian McBride on stand-up bass and drummer Antonio Sanchez wove their way into Metheny's music... and played with a telepathic virtuosity. And the Louisville Courier Journal summed up the nightly reaction to the trio's sets: It was a collaborative tour de force that earned a standing ovation. Christian is an amazing musician and Antonio is the drummer of this generation, says Metheny. 35 year-old bassist McBride had played alongside Roy Hargrove, Freddie Hubbard and others, before stepping up to lead his own group; 36 year-old drummer Sanchez is a member of The Pat Metheny Group. On Day Trip, Metheny offers plenty of excitement in his solos and the trio cranks up the funk on "The Red One", (a version of which was previously released on Metheny's collaboration with John Scofield "I Can See Your House From Here"). However they generally eschew flash for a more easy-going groove; McBride calls it a softer, more traditional sound. Perhaps most eloquent among these tracks is the elegiac, folk-like melody of "Is This America?" (Katrina 2005). 2007 was an exceptional year for Metheny.

- Rock-solid from start to finish, just beautiful.
I'm not going to review this one track-by-track, because it is simply pristine jazz trio music, and that's all you really need to know.
The stand-out track for me was the 9-minute "When We Were Free," which succeeds largely on the Tony Williams-style drumming of Antonio Sanchez. If there is a lesson to be learned from Miles' "Second Great Quintet" or the Impulse years of John Coltrane, it is that the drummer is NOT simply there to "keep time." As much as I enjoy the entire CD, I'd like ... Read More
Rating: - Destined To Be A Classic?
Opinions may vary but for my money this may be the best all round Metheny effort. This album just gets better and better with each hearing. Antonio Sanchez and Christian McBride are phenomenal on every piece. Metheny's playing probably has never been better. Their collaboration on this album has produced one of the most exciting jazz albums I've heard in years.
