Clearly the human voices here are just an instrument like another, don’t expect them to sing something because they won’t. Then comes the chorus, with the human voices. In this case the guitar does exactly what the voice would do, Metheny is making his guitar sing with an unbelievable expressivity, just using a catchy theme. Then comes the guitar with the main theme, which’s so immediate and simple that you can even sing it, but not for this is foregone. The album opens brightly with “Here To Stay” which starts with three isolated piano chords that create a little tension, and before you can realize it, all the instruments except for the guitar are in, with the drums that hold on a vigorous shuffle tempo. Jazz’s no longer a weird genre played by music theorists, but relaxing music that everyone can enjoy, or at least, this is what they will make you believe. He says that he plays what he’d like to listen to, and you can find this philosophy in all of his works. Mays composes the complex harmony that supports every track, and Metheny writes the solid and extremely catchy melodies.

The album is mainly written by the two stable members of the group, Pat Metheny and the pianist Lyle Mays. The PMG has never released a bad album throughout its career, and We Live Here is a summary of what I loved from its predecessors. While its founder Pat Metheny has a solo career more inclined to classic jazz, in his side project he likes to experiment a lot, combining fusion with world music. In the fusion scenario Pat Metheny Group is one of the most important landmarks. Review Summary: The perfect soundtrack for your next travel around the world.
