Pat Metheny Group, live at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Canada, July 1989

By the end of the 1980s Pat Metheny was at his commercial peak, delighting audiences by incorporating Brazilian rhythms into his melodic and atmospheric jazz-fusion hybrid.

The unforgettable performance captured here was broadcast on a special temporary jazz radio station via channel 217, frequency 91.3 MHz, courtesy of the CRTC at the Montreal Jazz Festival in July 1989, and includes a remarkable cross-section of his material to date (including Every Summer Night, dedicated to the festival itself).

It's presented here together with background notes and images.
