Pat Metheny, born in 1954 and hailing from Lee's Summit, is a jazz guitarist and composer who has never met a guitar he didn't want to try. Acoustic, electric, guitar synthesizer, even the Pikasso guitar: he plays them all, along with synthesizer and drums, and he bends each one toward the same warm, lyrical sound.
From 1977 to 2010 he led the Pat Metheny Group, and he keeps working in small combos, duets and solo settings, plus side projects of every stripe. His music pulls together progressive and contemporary jazz, Latin jazz and fusion, and ECM Records is among the labels that have carried it. "As It Is" shows that side of him, a patient, glowing piece that drifts rather than swings.
The honors are staggering. He has three gold albums and 20 Grammy Awards, and nobody else has taken Grammys across as many as 10 different categories. The Kansas Music Hall of Fame took him in in 2008, and he was named an NEA Jazz Master in 2018.
