“…one of the greatest guitar players on the planet…” The Guardian, UK

Guitarist Pat Metheny is a jazz legend. Since bursting onto the international scene in the early ’70s, he has received acclaim from critics and peers alike, winning 16 Grammy Awards and countless polls for “Best Jazz Guitarist”.

A truly innovative player, Metheny has reinvented the traditional jazz guitar sound and, with new technology, continues to redefine the genre. He is versatile both as a musician and composer, in styles ranging from modern jazz to rock to classical.

Drummer Antonio Sanchez and bass player Christian McBride complete the Pat Metheny Trio line-up. Sanchez is one of the most in-demand drummers on the scene today, while McBride has arguably become the jazz world's most acclaimed acoustic and electric bassist.

Live, Pat Metheny is electrifying – experience one of the international jazz scene’s brightest stars in his first ever New Zealand performance.
