Pat Metheny Quartet Charlie Haden, Paul Motian/CA, USA 1980

This is a live recording by Pat Metheny's quartet. It's a quartet, not a group. As you can imagine from the fact that Charlie Haden is on bass and Paul Motian is on drums, it's not very fusion-oriented, and it's purely a jazz approach. Nevertheless, "TURNAROUND" and "FOLK SONG FOR ROSIE" are performed for over 20 minutes. All other songs are over 10 minutes long, except for the encore solo medley by Metheny. It is an audience recording, and the sound quality is a little less suitable for beginners, but the average quality of Metheny's audience recordings is not very high to begin with, so fans who know this will be able to enjoy it as a good quality item.
