The track 'Jaco' is a tribute to the bass player Jaco Pastorius. They won 11 Grammy Awards, including five in the Best Jazz. Their 1979 album, American Garage, and 1982’s Offramp both reached No. "Phase Dance" quickly became a signature song for the Group, most often played in concert as an introductory piece. Founded in 1977, the Pat Metheny Group was a jazz fusion troupe led by guitarist Pat Metheny and pianist Lyle Mays that featured an ever-changing lineup of musicians. This is particularly evidenced on the track, "Phase Dance", where Metheny introduces the main melody on an acoustic guitar and then switches to an electric to play one of the improvisational solos, with Mays providing the foundation on keyboards before playing the other solo.
Many elements that became defining traits of the band's overall sound were in place on this album, namely Metheny's incorporation of several different guitars and Mays's fusion of electronic and acoustic keyboards to create a fuller, more harmonically sophisticated foundation for the melodies and solos. It features Pat Metheny on guitars, Lyle Mays on piano and synthesizer, Mark Egan on electric bass, and Danny Gottlieb on drums.
Pat Metheny Group is the first album by the Pat Metheny Group, released in 1978.
