This is part of the stretch where he had to turn hype into a real band identity. Studio Lore First Pat Metheny Group album with Pedro Aznar and Nana Vasconcelos. It also pushed Metheny’s guitar synth sound further into the group’s core language. Media Narrative Offramp won the Grammy for Best Jazz Fusion Performance and helped make the Pat Metheny Group one of the few ECM acts with real crossover weight in the U.S.
