Pizzarelli,John Better Days Ahead (Solo Guitar Takes Pat Metheny) CD

World-renowned jazz guitarist, singer and recent Grammy Award-winning producer John Pizzarelli takes on the songs of Pat Metheny in his new album "Better Days Ahead". Having loved the recordings of the Pat Metheny Group since his teenage years, Pizzarelli welcomed the challenge of diving deep into Metheny's cannon of dense, moving material and deconstructing Pat Metheny's group arrangements on his seven-string guitar. "To say it was flattering to have John address these tunes is an understatement. I had no idea that it was all leading to this excellent solo guitar recording of my tunes" says Methany.
