Hexagonmaster's video: Pat Metheny Group - Dream Of The Return

The Pat Metheny Group is a jazz group founded in 1977 known for their consistently recognizable yet eclectic sound, fusing elements of new jazz, fusion, heartland folk, Latin and other international styles. The music ranges from highly refined melodic and rhythmic excursions to lyrical tone poems, to avant-garde textures, and much more. Core members of the group are guitarist and leader Pat Metheny, keyboard player and pianist Lyle Mays, and bassist Steve Rodby, who joined in 1980. The group has had many additional personnel come and go over the years. Drummer Paul Wertico was a long lasting member of the group, whose tenure lasted from 1983 until 2001. The current members are Pat Metheny (guitars), Lyle Mays (piano and keyboards), Steve Rodby (double bass, electric bass), Antonio Sanchez (drums), Cuong Vu (trumpet), Grégoire Maret (harmonica, percussion, vocals) and Nando Lauria (guitar, percussion, vocals). Founder Pat Metheny came onto the jazz fusion scene in the mid-1970s with a pair of solo albums; the latter of these, 1977s Watercolors, featured keyboard player Lyle Mays. Methenys follow-up album formalized this arrangement, featuring several songs co-written with Mays; the album was released as the self-titled Pat Metheny Group on the ECM record label. The second group album, American Garage (1980), was a breakout hit, reaching on the Billboard Jazz chart and crossing over onto the pop charts as well, largely on the strength of the up-tempo opening track (Cross the) Heartland which would become a signature tune for the group. ~LYRICS~ Spanish: Al mar eché un poema que llevó con él mis preguntas y mi voz Como un lento barco se perdió en la espuma Le pedí que no diera la vuelta sin haber visto el altamar y en sueños hablar conmigo de lo que vio Aún si no volviera yo sabría si llegó Viajar la vida entera por la calma azul o en tormentas zozobrar poco importa el modo si algún puerto espera Aguardé tanto tiempo el mensaje que olvidé volver al mar y así yo perdí aquel poema Grité a los cielos todo mi rencor Lo hallé por fin, pero escrito en la arena como una oración El mar golpeó en mis venas y libró mi corazón English: I Tossed a poem to the sea that took with it my questions and my voice Like a slow ship it vanished in the foam I asked it not to turn back without having seen the open sea and in dreams telling me of its visions Even if it never returned I would know if it arrived Travel the whole life on the blue calm or foundering in storms Little matters the way if some port awaits I waited so long for the message that I forgot returning to the sea and thought the poem lost forever I cried my rancor to the heavens till I found it, finally, written in the sand like a prayer The sea beat in my veins and set my heart free
