Pat does seem to be a fine person except when he is threatening violence against, e.g., Kenny G: "...Everything I said here is exactly the same as what I would say to Gorelick if I ever saw him in person. and if I ever DO see him anywhere, at any function - he WILL get a piece of my mind and (maybe a guitar wrapped around his head.)"
It was a different time for sure. Also Pat was arguably at his peak popularity. The Secret Story was a gold record as were the 2 previous PMG albums. I saw his Secret Story tour stop in my city where he sold out a 3000 seat venue. The PMG regularly played 5000+ seat venues, even bigger in Europe. Unfortunately today’s music landscape doesn’t really favor a jazzy instrumental guitarist and his group becoming that big. Admittedly the music Pat and PMG made in the 1980s and 90s was special. There are great musicians recording and touring today but you need to seek out their music and keep an eye on their socials so you can see them when they play the small jazz club in your town, if you’re lucky enough to have one.
It was my first album by the PMG. I love the first track on it,with this children's choir ended with Pat's guitar solo accompanied by a Symphony Orchestra. It's a mental roller coaster ride.
If I was told I was going to be marooned on a desert island, and could pick one CD to have and listen to, it would the Metheney's "Secret Story" album. It is in truth the culmination of decades of his maturation and development as a musician, stamping his own style on jazz fusion.
"Secret Story" was my original introduction to Metheny's music, and I absolutely agree. It is the only album I would want with me on a deserted island.
I would go one step further....as a guy that plays both prog rock, and jazz.....and a big metheny fan as well and met hi couple times...i always thought of pats music as Progressive Jazz... Just like progressive rock but more jazz instead
I got into Pat's music relatively late - mid to late 90's, so while I also love Secret Story, I'd rather choose Imaginary Day and The Way Up to accompany Lyle Mays' self titled solo masterpiece for my desert island excursion..
@@bradparker6156 Imaginary Day is one of my favorites, too. I listened to One Quiet Night several times in a row while working with my stamp collection recently, and decided it is an exquisite album, just beautiful music.
This piece is actually an arrangement of two songs. The first part is taken from the second part of "Have You Heard" (Pat's Solo), and then, they recall the main theme of "Rain River", from "Secret Story".
Growing up I thought Regis and Kathy Lee were a bit hokey, but this is a pretty good interview considering the segment duration. Much better than anything on tv these days.
Secret Story is indeed one of Pat's best. It's nice and long - moody and constantly changing but flows so well. I've played it a zillion times but I don't think I've ever played just a song off the album/CD. It's one of those great albums that you always just want to immerse yourself in the whole thing.
This man's music had been making me cry with deep emotion more consistently than any other's music...& that's been happening for over 4 decades now. He's one of my primary reasons to BE...vs NOT be.
Secret Story is so great that, let me say this. My car had a CD player and a great set of speakers and a huge amp. I had Secret Story in that CD player for 3 years straight, no lie. I had no changer or any other fancy tech. It's got 74 minutes of music or thereabouts. I thought the album was the best album in history. The details are engeniusly selected. Each riff was perfectly balanced but I see here he's making up new stuff for a small acoustic set and it's absolutely perfect as it is so I'd just say that this demonstrates Methenys genius. Ha ha, yes the most famous toothbrush in the world. As a great smiler, what a great symbol for Metheny. Right?
When I put Secret Story in my old Technics CD player and the asian children's choir starts to sing my musical journey starts. Everything fits perfectly in this song in particular the acoustic guitar solo, the Orchestra and the shakers at the end. The entire album is magnificent.
Killing harmonics at the end of the song!!! Also, I love what he said about describing his music with words “Probably if I could describe it I‘d be a writer or a poet instead of a musician”.
¡Qué capo este pibe! No dejé de comprar varios o tal vez todos los discos de jazz fusión que sacó desde fines de los 80 creo hasta fines de los 90. Después creo que me fui alejando. Ver una entrevista de esa época es lo más.
Armando Marcal (percussionist) has the hard job of several instruments. He's playing the chimes, tambourine, bongos and he has to maintain a steady rhythm with the shaker, while multitasking the other instruments. ( ^ _ ^ )
Pat's sound is distinct, and recognizable -- it's his signature. However it's also always fresh, new and even exhilarating -- uplifting. God has blessed him with much creativity. Secret Story is one of his best albums, much emotions are released throughout the different chords he plays. He takes his listeners on an enjoyable sight-seeing musical journey. Even the cover art on his albums are intriguing, they get you wondering about what was going on at the time and place they depict. It's also refreshing to see that his fame hasn't gone to his head, a very down-to-earth person who obviously really loves his work.
One of my absolute heroes of guitar and music and this record brought him to the Spectrum for a promo show and I had a chance to hangout and meet him. Meant a lot and it was inspirational.
Chinese Mugwump -What makes you think most viewers(non-musicians)would be interested in those questions? If the show was Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis.....I'm with you..............but on a show like this......no.
Eric Sierra-Franco I ALWAYS want to know who they think is a good musician (who impresses them). I also want to know who they like playing with, & who they wish they could play with. As a guitar player, I'd like to know why/how they got to playing the instrument they play. IE, John Scofield said he was on a gig in Japan & businessmen from Ibanez brought a guitar of theirs & asked him to just play it. He said that was the early 80's & he's still playing that exact same guitar. (Just for starters...). PS- thanks for asking!
Genius , pure and simple ...despite the the crass uneducated comments from the useless presenters...Hearing Pat perform and speak on his music was most pleasureable ... He don't need no youtube stage to promote his Artistry ...just a bonus :)
This is kind of like having Albert Einstein on Good Morning America. I would support it and think that it would be good to have him showcased and interviewed on mainstream television. And yet at the same time it would be a little cringey to see him asked so many questions that didn't seem to understand the essence of what he's all about. Pat was very gracious here throughout.
I know it is their job to elicit information from the guest that they are interviewing, but when interviewing musicians who are also there to perform in order to promote a CD that is about to released or has just been released, I wish that some of these talk show hosts would learn when to STOP talking and let the musicians do what came to do : play!! I was sooo impressed with the second part of this video stream where the host, Cassandra Clayton, just gave the most basic of information by briefly covering his background, how long he has been playing, what the name of the new CD is, and what song the group was going to play from that CD, and then she just got out of the way and said "take it away.." . I wish that more talk show hosts would emulate this woman, who knew when to inquire, when to listen, and when to just let the band play!!
You took the words right out of my fingertips, Wayne. I agree with you and had already written my feelings about it - see below. I have faith, however, that for every insecure, fickle, cringeworthy interviewer out there, there is also a great, empathetic human one like Cassandra Clayton! ---- FIRST INTERVIEW: I am intrigued that anybody would want to watch a show with such jittery, superficial interviewers. A pathetic reflection of the times. The mood generated is one of a pretty housewife interviewer who is interested but is incapable of any depth, alongside arrogant, disinterested male whose sole interest is spouting the next quick wit. SECOND INTERVIEW: Cassandra Clayton. What a contrast to the first interview! She comes across as genuinely, deeply interested, admiring without adulating, and asking more helpful questions. BOTH INTERVIEWS: Mr. Metheny effortlessly maintains, as another commenter notes, a calm, honest and self-deprecating demeanour.
God how patient pat is..the interviewer was just terrible..she was nice but he. Pat is just a wonder to me anytime i hear him playing He make mefeel good.
Regis being Regis...Pat comfortable in his own skin. Great communicator getting his point accords to listeners what his music is about and the process he used to put the product together. Calm demeanor equals music that is so pleasant. A friend brought me to his videos and I'm glad she did. Love the guitar work.

I saw pat at Berklee in 1975 and in Spain in 1990 and then ended up marrying his cousin
A remarkable musician
Been listening to Pat for over 30 years. His music has seen me through fun and rough times in my life. Catch him in concert of you can!
Pat is not just a great musician, but also a fine person.

Yeah because Kenny G-String garbled all over Louis Armstrong.

Pat Metheny never cease to amaze with with his musicianship and artistry. Secret Story is a beautiful recording.
Everyone should listen to Secret Story.
This is amazing. Who knew jazz musicians used to be interviewed and performed on main TV shows?
I'm very surprised!
Ditto

Johnny Carson used to have classical guitarists ...

Mine too
@@rakim6466 Great minds think alike !
Listening to Pat since '78…He's still the best…Listen to his music almost everyday.. On my C.D.'s of course...
What’s nice about this is that we get to watch Steve Rodby…😊
NO ONE CLOSE......in a league of his own........Astonishing back catalogue .....peerless

Dig deep into the staccato
Pat and his tooth-brush to adjust his guitar-strap - that's a classic, thanks for this uploading MR Russell º namaste
No problem
He's been a big influence on me, still decades after hearing his works. I don't even play guitar, it was his compositions that hit me.
This piece is actually an arrangement of two songs. The first part is taken from the second part of "Have You Heard" (Pat's Solo), and then, they recall the main theme of "Rain River", from "Secret Story".
Nice ear. Did you also catch the "Phase Dance" quote @14:40?
Only a two-second phrase, good ear too ! ;)

Great mix for Television show. Especially for the era.
I had the surreal experience of having a brief conversation and get Secret Story signed by Pat in Osaka, Japan. I'll never forget it.
amazing stripped-down version of the solo section in this tune...pretty full for a 3-piece...
If Grateful Dead fans are dead heads, are Pat Metheny fans Meth heads ??
+Chad M I am a meth head
+Chad M Nope not at all. Just persons that like good jazz fusion music and outstanding talent. Save the meth for yourself.
Snooty Jazzo
idk, if meth heads = pat fans, then grate heads = dead heads. so the answer is no, lulz
Ba dum tssssss
Killing harmonics at the end of the song!!!
Also, I love what he said about describing his music with words “Probably if I could describe it I‘d be a writer or a poet instead of a musician”.

Looks like the same guitar (ES175?) he played on the 1979 Shadows and Light tour with Joni Mitchell and Jaco? The bridge pickup is removed.
dieselyeti Exactly the same guitar!
And was succeeded by not one but TWO Ibanez PM models. Earlier ones had the upper cutaway.
It is...
Actually, I did a quick video check, and the song is called, " slip away".
Man, a masterpiece.
nice album this was
Great!
great video
It doesn't get more early 90's than this! Haha
thank you for uploading....
Fun and neat to listen to him carry it with the guitar alone...great recording.
secret story one of best JJ
Can’t freakin’ believe this is already 30 years old 🤦🏻
I love this trio set up. Pat will be here in Toronto for our Jazz Lives concert on April 30th. Last time he brought bassist Larry Grenadier with him.
Marçalzinho 🥁 😎
One of my favorite albums.
Kathy-Lee looks adorable.
This is how I like it. A lovely semi with flat wounds and a fat tone rolled back, just the right amount of reverb.
I love when I so clearly hear Wes in Pat's playing

Wow, Kathie had done her homework
What's the name of the song at the beginning of the clip(the video intro)? Ive been looking for it for years.
That's "Slip Away" from the album "Letter From Home".
