One of the World's Greatest Guitarists Performs at Aarhus Jazz Festival

Guitarist Pat Metheny is a true master and the only artist ever to have won 20 Grammys in 10 different categories.

This year, Metheny can be experienced at a warm-up show for Aarhus Jazz Festival and Musikhuset Swings, as he brings talented young musicians under his wing and onto the stage at Musikhuset.

Pat Metheny has numerous releases and awards on his resume and a long career that really took off in the 1970s when he played with vibraphonist Gary Burton's quartet.

In 1975, he formed his first trio with bassist Jaco Pastorius and drummer Bob Moses. They recorded their debut LP Bright Size Life, now considered a classic of fusion music. He has played with some of the greats of his time: Toots Thielemans, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, John Scofield, Jim Hall, Billy Higgins, Ornette Coleman, Roy Haynes, Joni Mitchell, and many more.

The Side-Eye project. The confidence that older musicians have always shown Pat Metheny since his early days in Kansas City inspired him to create the Side-Eye concerts, which have received rave reviews in New York.

Here, he graciously brings young, talented musicians onto the stage where they can develop and find themselves through the prism of the older, more experienced guitarist. He does it for his own sake, too. Collaborating with the younger musicians inspires him to find new directions in his music and to compose new material.
