Pat Metheny - First Circle (1984).

The very first album from the 'Pat Metheny Group' comes across as a delightful april breeze. It was recorded in the days when Pat still limited himself to playing old-fashioned jazz guitar. Interestingly, on "San Lorenzo" it is Mays (on grand piano) and not Metheny who's granted an extended solo

In First Circle, the Pat Metheny Group settled into a lineup that lasted for quite a while - with Metheny, keyboardist Lyle Mays, bassist Steve Rodby, and new drummer Paul Wertico forming the core quartet. The ever-restless Metheny also mixes up the music, not quite leaving the Brazilian glide behind but coming up with some fascinating permutations always affixed with his personal stamp. The First Circle" has Brazilian elements, but now in the service of a grander architectural context, while nothing could be simpler and yet more sophisticated than the delicate ballad "If I Could. End of the Game" might be the best track on the record, equipped with a beautiful pop-flavored set of tunes and harmonies, with a rock beat fused to the floating ambience of South America as personified by the new Argentine st Pedro Aznar.
