(June 2024 – PR) — Today, June 12, legendary American guitarist, composer, improviser and 20-time Grammy winner Pat Metheny releases the Lennon-McCartney tune “Here, There and Everywhere,” the third single from his newest album, MoonDial,on BMG; the album release will follow on July 26. The single can be streamed here and is available for purchase here. Previous single releases were of the title track, a Metheny original; and Chick Corea’s “You’re Everything.” Superficially, MoonDial is reminiscent of the guitarist’s previous recordings One Quiet Night (2003) and What’s It All About (2011), in that it is purely a solo album with no overdubs, recorded on baritone guitar. But this time the instrument is a custom-built nylon-string baritone guitar made by Linda Manzer, a close collaborator of Metheny’s and one of the world’s premier luthiers. Coupled with a new kind of nylon string made in Argentina, this guitar allowed Metheny to use a tuning system he has previously found possible only with steel strings, and his excitement about the new setup made him do something he has never done before: conceive, record, and release a new album in the middle of another tour. As he puts it: “It is a beautiful, rich and kind of infinite-feeling new world for me.” The album is available now for pre-order on CD, vinyl and digital formats. It will be available to stream here on July 26.
