Hi...long time lurker and major Metheny fan...saw a recent post about "vocalise" versions of Metheny songs, and it got me wondering... just how many people have covered Metheny compositions? (vocal or otherwise...) Does an "up to date" list exist anywhere? (...or has this topic been covered here before?) I would be interested in trying to chase down other interpretations of his songs...
(...I know this could potentially be a long thread)
Thanks |

Hi Matt S, what I was saying (I think) is that there have been some vocal versions of that tune... I heard one in Ronnie
Scotts but I can’t remember who sung it - a US female vocalist I’m sure.

yossarian, why do you say Always and Forever would be unlikely to have a vocalese cover? It’s quite a natural for
lyrics. Anna Maria Jopek sang Polish lyrics for it on the album she did with Pat in 2002. I’m pretty sure others have
done it too.

robstreetman: I think you can probably find out an exhaustive list on wikipedia, if not this site. There are so many covers from Philip Bailey to the saxophone player in my local pub here in London who just played ’James’.

My band recently covered two of Pat’s tunes: Unquity Road and As Falls Wichita.

Has anyone done lyrics for Always and Forever? Seems unlikely but I thought I once heard the song covered by a vocalist, back in the nineties this was. That song is in a dead heat with We Had a Sister and Farmer’s Trust for ’best ever Pat ballad’. But there’s also Too Soon Tomorrow, Sometimes I See, Seven Days, If I Could, You...

robstreetman, since you asked, I recently released a CD covering Pat’s “Sirabhorn”. It is listed under Dave Pope Trio, “You And The Night And The Music” and features John Patitucci on bass, my brother Mike Pope on piano, and me on drums. My brother actually gave a rough mix of it to Pat and he said he listened to it and “really liked” it. It can be found online in most of the usual places. Hope you like it too and thanks for the opportunity to share.

Rob: If you go to allmusic.com
and search on Pat, one of the
tabs in the results is
’Credits’ which has nearly
1600 links. It’s a bit
cumbersome to wade through as
the links are to album
listings which are a mix of
Pat’s own releases plus other
works where he may have been
the composer, played,
produced, or contributed liner
notes. But tons of info.
