On Friday, Pat Metheny announced that he will be releasing a new recording in 2010. By the sounds of it, this project is going to be very interesting. The following was written on Pat’s website on Friday:
I have been very lucky over the years to have many opportunities to explore a wide range of ideas as a musician. The quest to find new ways of thinking about things and the process of trying to come up with a personal perspective on music has been a major priority along the way, almost from the very beginning.
The Orchestrion Project is a leap into new territory. This project represents a recently developed conceptual direction for me that involves the merging of an idea from the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries with the technologies of today to create an open-ended platform for musical invention and performance.
“Orchestrionics” is the term that I am using to describe a new performance method to present music alone onstage using acoustic and acoustoelectric musical instruments that are mechanically controlled using the power of modern technology.
In early 2010 a new recording will be released on Nonesuch. It will be a “solo” record in that I am the only musician—but a CD that in some ways recontextualizes the term.
For more info, visit Pat's website. Here is a video from ’94 of Metheny and Scofield performing “The Red One” from their album I Can See Your House from Here.

pat metheny is good musician as he composed material is so fresh and acted with such vitality that often sounds improvised and improvised solos are so well designed architecturally often can not determine that the composite material leaves off and where the improvised solo picks up - presumably because there is really no clear answer. memory foam mattress
