METHENY,PAT - New York November 1979 (Sealed) (2CD)

The Pat Metheny Group formed in 1977, and were swiftly acclaimed as one of America s foremost fusion bands. Their second album, American Garage, appeared in June 1979, and reached #1 on the Billboard jazz chart soon afterwards, propelled by the uptempo (Cross the) Heartland, which became their signature tune. This superb set was recorded for broadcast on WLIR-FM and WRVR-FM later that year, and finds the quartet on fiery form.
