Trio -> Live
jazz masterpiece


Trio collaboration between legendary jazz guitarist Pat Metheny, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Bill Stewart. The trio released the album "Trio 99 → 00" on Warner Bros. in February 2000. (The album title is often listed as "Trio 99 > 00" or "Trio 99>00".) This trio came together in 1999 as Metheny finished a two-year stretch of recording and touring around the world with his regular group. For his "vacation" period, Metheny decided to find a few like-minded younger players and continue once again to expand on his unique vision of what a guitar-led, improvisationally-driven, three-piece ensemble could suggest within this modern culture of music. During recording, the trio "spent just a couple of days together in the studio, just for a few hours a day, just playing", according to Metheny. They did not even listen back to anything until a few weeks later. Metheny won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo for "(Go) Get It." Read more on Last.fm.
