About Pat Metheny Side-Eye III+ Tour Project

In 2016, Pat Metheny formed the Side Eye Trio, which he envisioned as a platform for showcasing up-and-coming musicians.

“I had a tune called ‘Side-Eye’ that I never played, and several people said it was a great name for a band. So, I thought I’d use that,” Metheny said. “But more specifically, it’s been hard to be an American in the past few years and not have a kind of side-eye look at ourselves during this incredibly bizarre period of time. To me, the only possible way to survive it is to just raise an eyebrow."

“So, I’d come up with a name, but this time, the name has a sort of mandate behind it,” he said. “I decided to use newer, younger musicians that I think are really great. And I expect the group to change. It’s not going to be one thing, it’s going to be a lot of different things. Hence, this record is ‘V1’ — version one — to say that I’m looking to have a lot of different versions of what that group can be.”

With an ever-rotating set of band members, Pat Metheny only aims to create an environment that promotes a playful, creative exchange between generations of musicians.  

“I’m going to find guys who are really good at what it is that I’m open to,” he said. “And then I’m going to try to set up an environment where everybody’s happy and everybody gets to do what they do — and then some. Because part of my role has been to take a group and push it to someplace beyond where it is just naturally.”
