Pat Metheny Side-Eye III+
It’s rare for a musician to win one Grammy Award in a career. To have won 20, spread over categories including Best Rock Instrumental, Best Contemporary Jazz Recording, Best Instrumental Solo, and Best Instrumental Composition, is amazing. If you’ve won seven consecutive Grammy Awards for seven consecutive albums, you’re guitarist Pat Metheny, only the fourth guitarist to be included in the Downbeat Hall of Fame. A native of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Metheny started playing the trumpet at 8. He switched to the guitar as a teen and by 15 was working with the best jazz musicians in Kansas City. He burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974 and spent three years with vibraphone great Gary Burton. Even as a young man, he had already shown his trademark playing style, a way of playing and improvising that was modern and yet grounded in the jazz tradition of melody, swing, and the blues.
