“And since then, for me and every other musician, on all levels, there hasn’t been any work.”īut even as more than a hundred of Metheny’s subsequent gigs fell off the calendar last year, his career continued to surpass milestones.
“The last gig I played was Auckland, New Zealand, in early March of 2020,” Metheny continued. The rest of that tour - Brazil, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Cuba - was canceled, too, as COVID-19 spread throughout the world. “He got up the next morning and closed Argentina,” Metheny recalled in a remote chat from his home in upstate New York. The quartet from that record was starting the Latin American leg of its tour with two dates in Argentina, where President Alberto Fernández, an amateur musician and Metheny buff, was to meet the visiting guitarist.īut the night before that appointed meeting, Fernández canceled. In mid-March 2020, Pat Metheny and his band flew into South America from the Asia-Pacific, just days after his latest album, From This Place (Nonesuch), landed in stores.
