Review by Elbio Corino Dalla Pegoraro

The Longest Summer, the 2008 album by jazz guitarist Pat Metheny, is a beautiful and captivating work of art. The album features Metheny's signature sound, with intricate guitar work and complex melodies that showcase his virtuosity as a musician.

The album's title track, "The Longest Summer," is a standout, with its haunting melody and Metheny's soaring guitar lines. Other highlights include "Dreaming Trees," a lush and dreamy ballad that showcases Metheny's skill at creating evocative soundscapes, and "Is This America? (Katrina 2005)," a powerful and politically charged piece that addresses the government's response to Hurricane Katrina.

Throughout the album, Metheny is joined by a talented group of musicians, including drummer Antonio Sanchez, bassist Christian McBride, and saxophonist Chris Potter. Together, they create a cohesive and dynamic sound that is both intricate and accessible.

Pat Metheny was born in Kansas City on August 12, 1954 into a musical family. Starting on trumpet at the age of 8, Metheny switched to guitar at age 12. By the age of 15, he was working regularly with the best jazz musicians in Kansas City, receiving valuable on-the-bandstand experience at an unusually young age. Metheny first burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974. Over the course of his three-year stint with vibraphone great , the young Missouri native already displayed his soon-to-become trademarked playing style, which blended the loose and flexible articulation customarily reserved for horn players with an advanced rhythmic and harmonic sensibility - a way of playing and improvising that was modern in conception but grounded deeply in the jazz tradition of melody, swing, and the blues. With the release of his first album, Bright Size Life (1975), he reinvented the traditional jazz guitar sound for a new generation of players. Throughout his career, Pat Metheny has continued to re-define the genre by utilizing new technology and constantly working to evolve the improvisational and sonic potential of his instrument. Over the years, he has performed with diverse artists like , , , , , and , to name just a few. He is the younger brother of trumpet and flugelhorn player .
