“Guitar wonder Metheny has made an astoundingly tasteful and free flowing record here. Metheny’s compositions are perfect vehicles for his guitar, which blends smoothly with the breathtaking ensemble work.”
The Massachusetts Valley Advocate
"Metheny’s precision dives and soars, a most selfless bird, his fingers running together like the colors of the album’s title. His supporting crew is in tune at every moment (and one mustn’t fail to praise Dan Gottlieb’s drumming in this regard), protecting every melody with passionate detail. This is perfect music for travel, for the music travels itself. It’s a plane ride above a shimmering landscape, a hang-glide over open valleys, a dive into crystal waters—and yet, our feet never leave the ground. One might call it otherworldly, were it not so firmly rooted in the earth in all its glory. Pure magic from start to finish."
- ECM: Between Sound and Space
Watercolors is the first of Pat’s albums to feature Lyle Mays, an important partner for the work ahead - and with Danny Gottlieb on drums, three quarters of the Metheny Group is present here. The personnel of Watercolors is completed by Eberhard Weber, with whom Metheny had already collaborated creatively in Gary Burton’s band.
