About
Pat Metheny closes the solo sequence with an open-form electric guitar solo on "Syzygy" at approximately 300 BPM, his liquid tone and melodic inventiveness providing yet another perspective on the composition. The meeting of Brecker and Metheny, two of the most influential voices in modern jazz, produces an electric musical conversation, and Metheny's closing statement brings a guitarist's harmonic sensibility to a performance dominated by saxophone and keyboards. As the fourth and final soloist, his contribution provides a satisfying conclusion to a track that has showcased four distinct instrumental voices at the highest level of technical and creative invention.
Pat Metheny was 32 to 33 years old at the time.
