Quartet expands upon the "dream pairing" - begun by guitarist Pat Metheny and pianist Brad Mehldau on their 2006 Nonesuch collaboration, Metheny/Mehldau. This time they incorporate the members of Mehldau's trio, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard, into a breathtakingly eclectic set, which ranges from the airy, pastoral "Don't Wait" to straight-up rocking in the slowly building "Towards the Light." Last year, London's Evening Standard described Metheny and Mehldau as "graceful, lyrical improvisers...It's a duo performance that deserves to tour." Now the pair is indeed hitting the road, along with Mehldau's two band-mates, in March for a month of shows throughout North America in support of Quartet. The 11 tracks that comprise Quartet were cut during the week-length December 2005 session at Manhattan's Right Track that yielded Metheny /Mehldau, a recording date that, over time, will surely be considered a landmark in contemporary jazz. On Quartet, each artist contributes original solo compositions as well as their first co-written piece, "A Night Away." The group also reworks Mehldau's "Fear and Trembling," which originally appeared on House On Hill, Mehldau's final outing with his previous trio lineup. It also interprets Metheny's "Marta's Theme," from his score to the 1998 Italian film, A Passage to Paradise. Quartet is perhaps even more adventurous and just as rewarding as their first release; the exhilarating back and forth between Metheny and Mehldau continues with their eagerly awaited live dates.

詳細説明

共演作の第2弾、ぼぼデュオだった前作とは異なり今回はリズム・セクション入りの曲を中心(11曲中7曲)に収録。前作で証明された、世代ギャップを感じさせない相性の良さがまたしても浮き彫りとなった。特筆すべきはバリエーション豊かな曲の印象、カルテットならではのスリリングな高揚感をもたらす展開から、時折見せる美しくメロウな表情まで、完成度の高い世界を存分に堪能できる作品。ギター・シンセ・パートの個性的なメセニー・サウンドも聴きどころ。9月の来日公演への期待は嫌が応にも高まる。(江畑 謙)
