About the Artists

Pat Metheny

Pat Metheny was born in Lee's Summit, Missouri on August 12, 1954 into a musical family. Starting on trumpet

Irvine Barclay Theatre

at the age of eight, Metheny switched to guitar at age 12. By the age of 15, he was working regularly with thebest jazz musicians in Kansas City, receiving valuable on-the bandstand experience at an unusually young age.Metheny first burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974. Over the course of his three-year stint withvibraphone great Gary Burton, the young Missouri native already displayed his soon-to-become trademarkedplaying style, which blended the loose and flexible articulation customarily reserved for horn players with anadvanced rhythmic and harmonic sensibility—a way of playing and improvising that was modern in conceptionbut grounded deeply in the jazz tradition of melody, swing, and the blues. With the release of his first album,Bright Size Life (1975), he reinvented the traditional "jazz guitar" sound for a new generation of players.Throughout his career, Pat Metheny has continued to redefine the genre by utilizing new technology andconstantly working to evolve the improvisational and sonic potential of his instrument.

Metheny's versatility is nearly without peer on any instrument. Over the years, he has performed with artists asdiverse as Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Milton Nascimento, and David Bowie.Metheny’s body of work includes compositions for solo guitar, small ensembles, electric and acousticinstruments, large orchestras, ballet pieces, and even the robotic instruments of his Orchestrion Project, whilealways sidestepping the limits of any one genre.

As well as being an accomplished musician, Metheny has also participated in the academic arena as a musiceducator. At 18, he was the youngest teacher ever at the University of Miami. At 19, he became the youngestteacher ever at the Berklee College of Music, where he also received an honorary doctorate more than twentyyears later (1996). He has also taught music workshops all over the world, from the Dutch Royal Conservatory tothe Thelonius Monk Institute of Jazz to clinics in Asia and South America. He has been a true musical pioneer inthe realm of electronic music, and was one of the very first jazz musicians to treat the synthesizer as a seriousmusical instrument. Years before the invention of MIDI technology, Metheny was using the Synclavier as acomposing tool. He also has been instrumental in the development of several new kinds of guitars such as thesoprano acoustic guitar, the 42-string Pikasso guitar, Ibanez’s PM series jazz guitars, and a variety of othercustom instruments.

It is one thing to attain popularity as a musician, but it is another to receive the kind of acclaim Metheny hasgarnered from critics and peers. Over the years, Metheny has won countless polls as "Best Jazz Guitarist" andawards, including three gold records for (Still Life) Talking, Letter from Home, and Secret Story. He has also won20 Grammy Awards spread out over a variety of different categories, including Best Rock Instrumental, BestContemporary Jazz Recording, Best Jazz Instrumental Solo, Best Instrumental Composition, at one point winningseven consecutive Grammies for seven consecutive albums. In 2015, he was inducted into the Downbeat Hall ofFame, becoming only the fourth guitarist to be included (along with Django Reinhardt, Charlie Chrisitan, and WesMontgomery) and is its youngest member. Metheny has spent much of his life on tour, often doing more than 100shows a year since becoming a bandleader in the 70’s. At the time of this writing, he continues to be one of thebrightest stars of the jazz community, dedicating time to both his own projects and those of emerging artists andestablished veterans alike, helping them to reach their audience as well as realizing their own artistic visions.www.patmetheny.com

James Francies

Plenty of young musicians show promise, but very few enjoy the sort of meteoric rise that pianist, keyboardist andcomposer James Francies is currently experiencing. At only 26, he’s played with jazz headliners like Pat Metheny,Chris Potter, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Stefon Harris, Eric Harland, and Terrace Martin, and racked up equallyimpressive credits in hip-hop and R&B: from shows with Ms. Lauryn Hill, José James, Common, and NAS, tostudio time for Chance the Rapper’s Grammy-winning hit “No Problem,” Mark Ronson , Childish Gambino,YEBBA, and Kodak Black, to appearances with The Roots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon alongsidehis mentor and friend, Questlove.

Now comes Flight, the extraordinary debut album that welcomes Francies into the storied Blue Note Recordsfamily and finds him melding his jazz mastery and pop experience on 11 searching, engaging tracks. But as boldand new as this moment might seem for Francies, it’s also a homecoming, in more ways than one. Francies, likehis Blue Note predecessors Robert Glasper, Jason Moran, Chris Dave, and Kendrick Scott, is a proud Houstoniteand a graduate of that city’s Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA), one of the nation’smost reliable incubators for era-defining jazz talent. “Just to follow in their footsteps, let alone in the footsteps ofHerbie Hancock, Bud Powell, and all of these other artists who recorded for the label, it’s an honor,” Francies

Irvine Barclay Theatre

says. “And there’s a responsibility that comes with it too.”

Called “a pianist with liquid dynamism in his touch” by The New York Times, Francies started on piano aroundage four, with classical training and an education in the music of the church. Blessed with perfect pitch andsynesthesia (the ability to hear in colors), he attended his first jazz concert by Houston-born piano legend JoeSample, at age 6, and began studying jazz in junior high. Many deep influences followed, some of themsurprising. Along with pianists like Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Mulgrew Miller, Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, and TaylorEigsti, a longtime friend, Francies points to guitarists Allan Holdsworth and Mike Moreno and such trumpetmasters as Nicholas Payton, Freddie Hubbard, Clifford Brown, and Lee Morgan. A highly decorated tenure atHSPVA— including spots in the Monterey Jazz Festival’s Next Generation Jazz Orchestra, the Thelonious MonkInstitute All-Star Jazz Sextet, and the Grammy Jazz Session Combo earned Francies a full scholarship toManhattan’s School of Jazz and Contemporary Music at The New School.

While he was earning his degree, Francies was also rapidly ascending the jazz ranks and building a professionalcareer. Early bandstand time with Jeff “Tain” Watts helped him cut his teeth and raise his profile, as did his firstinternational tour, with Chris Dave and the Drumhedz. Chris Potter tapped him for his trio along with drummerEric Harland, and Pat Metheny assembled a trio with Francies and drummer Joe Dyson. Francies’ own group,Kinetic, has garnered buzz at events like Newport Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, NYC Winterfest, andBRIC JazzFest. He met Questlove and Roots keyboardist James Poyser a few years ago, and since then hasbecome a go-to resource for Quest and company—subbing for Poyser on Roots concerts and The Tonight ShowStarring Jimmy Fallon; participating in the Roots-produced Hamilton cast recording, in addition to other film andTV score work organized by Quest; and, currently, collaborating with The Roots emcee Black Thought on aBroadway show.

Francies says that his experiences outside of jazz have helped him with concepts like “assembling sounds,consistency, delivery and the ability to support,” and it certainly isn’t difficult to hear these lessons throughoutFlight. An embodiment of the Blue Note ethos at this thriving moment in the label’s history, it’s a dynamic,ultramodern jazz record, infused with pop, hip-hop, and R&B, that remains entertaining from start to finish.

James Francies is a Blue Note Recording Artist, endorsed by Yamaha Pianos, Korg Keyboards, and is an IWCBrand Ambassador. www.jamesfranciesmusic.com

Joe Dyson

New Orleans native Joe Dyson has certainly been one to watch. He started playing music in his family's church atjust two years old. After being noticed for his peculiar talent, Joe was placed in the Louis “Satchmo” ArmstrongSummer Jazz Camp where he was shadowed by the late, great clarinetist Alvin Batiste, and his longtimebandleader and mentor, alto saxophonist Donald Harrison. He went on to graduate from the New Orleans Centerfor Creative Arts (NOCCA), and earned a Presidential Scholarship to his alma mater, Berklee College of Music.

Joe has shared the stage with Dr. Lonnie Smith, Ellis Marsalis, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Jon Batiste, LeoNocentelli, Sullivan Fortner, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Paquito D’Rivera, Grammy Award winners Nicholas Paytonand Esperanza Spalding, among others.

As a musician, Joe has traveled across the globe extensively. Having touched almost every continent, he hasperformed throughout North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. He has appeared on over 30albums, including releases by Dr. Lonnie Smith, All in My Mind, (Blue Note Universal Records), Sullivan Fortner'sAria (Impulse Universal Records), and Christian aTunde Adjuah's Grammy-nominated EmancipationProcrastination (Ropeadope Records).

In addition to touring and recording, Joe has made appearances on the HBO hit series Treme, and can be seenperforming in the documentary titled Been In The Storm Too Long, hosted by Tavis Smiley. He can also be heardon the movie soundtrack of Rachel Getting Married, by the late, Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme.

In 2015, Joe became an adjunct professor at Tulane University. For the past six years, Joe has given back to hiscommunity through a benefit concert he created entitled Christmas in Tremé. The proceeds help fund Holy FaithTemple Baptist Church's outreach programs, including Food and Grocery Outreach Ministry, Senior CitizenComputer Literacy Program, and Educational Enrichment Summer Camp.
