SUBJECT:	Jason Vieaux’s Images of Metheny Back to Subjects
HAMBONE Mar 06 2011 at 11:54 AM	I was lucky enough to catch a phenomenal classical guitarist by the name of Jason Vieaux last night with the Reading Symphony Orchestra. In his bio I saw that he had made a cd of some of Pat’s music in 05. I had a chance after the show to speak to him about the project and he said Pat was really happy with his renditions. I immediately came home and ordered a copy for myself. If you get the chance to see Jason in concert, do it. You won’t regret it. I can’t wait to hear the cd. Has anyone else heard it?

I heard him rehearse the Rodrigo concerto and it sounded fantastic. I’ve heard some of his "Images of Metheny" album, and was inspired to work out a solo version of "Letter From Home". It’s on my YouTube page for anyone who would like to hear it: http://www.youtube.com/dspollen

HAMBONE Mar 08 2011 at 8:26 AM	Here’s a short review of the cd and bio on Jason for those who are interested: http://www.jasonvieaux.com/Vieaux-Metheny_presspercent20release.pdf
