About this album
The Way Up is the Grammy award winning thirteenth album by the Pat Metheny Group, released in 2005. The album consists of one 68 minute-long piece, split into four tracks solely for CD navigation. The album is a showcase for the band’s ability in solo improvisation and dynamics.
The tunes are apparently influenced by the works of contemporary composer Steve Reich, with whom Pat Metheny has collaborated in the past. Reich is credited on the CD with “very special thanks” along with Eberhard Weber, another musician Metheny has worked with.

I was lucky to see the band playing in Mexico City in 2003, at Metropilitan Theatre. - The only 1 time PMG has visited México. Pat declared at that time "he didn't expected that big audience of two full concerts", lots of ppl stayed out of venue, all tickets sold out. I remember we all went shocked out & surprissed when "Pat" introduced the band's members one by one. - He said at the end..."And now my very special friend and official drummer of Pat Metheny Group" ... Mr. "Antonio Sánchez" from México City...Wow, you should have seen when we all jumped out of our seats and clapped hands for over 15 or more minutes. - Antonio Sánchez felt endlessly happy & honoured. - It's a real pitty that PMG had come to México only once during their long musicians carreer. "You got to come back guys" -Check out this links to watch some Antonio's chronicles & videos. "Salúd with Tequila". http://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Antonio_Sanchez.html / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPOd7m0Z51g&hl=es

So I showed up to see Pat Metheny Group play in Kansas City at the Uptown Theater during the tour for The Way Up. They came out and played for over an hour. It was incredible. Amazing music. Then Pat got on the mike and said, So that was our new album...now we'll play some older stuff. Then they played for another couple of hours.
