Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny - Beyond The Missouri Sky (Short Stories) flac album

Beyond the Missouri Sky (Short Stories) is a jazz album by bassist Charlie Haden and guitarist Pat Metheny that won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance. The Precious Jewel" had been made popular by the Delmore Brothers, who were a major influence on Charlie Haden. Waltz for Ruth" was composed especially for this album and is dedicated to Haden's wife. Tears of Rain" is also an original composition for this project by Metheny, recorded with his sitar guitar.

Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny have been good friends since the 1970s, so it comes as a bit of a surprise that Beyond the Missouri Sky should be their first duet album together. Both musicians are from small towns in Missouri, which leads Metheny to speculate in the liner notes if this similarity of childhood ambience might have something to do with the two players' obvious love and affinity for each other. Whatever the answer, the result of this logical pairing is a rather somber and moody one. Metheny has a dark tone on his electric guitar, and on Beyond the Missouri Sky, where he plays.

Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny, both Missouri natives and best friends, join forces for a mostly acoustic duet album. All of the tunes were recorded as duets for acoustic bass and guitar, and on roughly half of the tunes, Metheny overdubbed some "orchestral" backgrounds on synclavier or an additional acoustic guitar part. While it's not a jazz album at all, in the traditional sense, there is nice improvisation and interplay throughout. There's sort of a simple American heartland folk feeling to many of the tunes, but the songs are not simple by any means. The chord voicings and harmonic sense these two display is uncanny, and they bend and flex the melody and solo lines to create expressive and contemplative musical statements.
