As an internationally renowned musician, Pat Metheny has pushed his jazz guitar beyond all limits, creating a unique sound and style of composition and performance.
Known to the Italian public for This is not America, the song written with David Bowie for The Falcon's Game, the American guitarist presents Side-Eye, his new project. Side-Eye is a musical situation in constant movement in which emerging musicians that Pat has met on his tours and that have attracted his attention take part.
Young artists who, influenced by Metheny's forty years of production, are often invited to play with him, offering him new lifeblood, the chance to experiment with new sounds, and inspiration.
Drummer Marcus Gilmore and pianist James Francies join Pat Metheny for the Rome concert.
The former is the grandson of drummer Roy Haynes, who played with Sarah Vaughan, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, and Chick Corea. It was his grandfather who, at the age of 10, gave Marcus his first set of drums. The instrument led him to play with musicians such as Steve Coleman, Ravi Coltrane, John Clayton, Chick Corea, Ray Barretto, Branford Marsalis, Jimmy Heath, Wycliffe Gordon, and Roy Hargrove.
At only 24 years old, James Francies has been able to collect cross experiences between Jazz with Pat Metheny, Chris Potter, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Stefon Harris, Eric Harland, Terrace Martin, Hip-Hop with Common, NAS, and Neo-Soul with Lauryn Hill, José James. These Important collaborations have made him one of the most impressive emerging pianists and keyboardists on the contemporary scene.
