Transcendence is a dynamic jazz trio (Bob Gluck – piano, Christopher Dean Sullivan – electric bass, Karl Latham – drums) that explores Pat Metheny’s compositions with emotional depth and astounding atmosphere, from lyricism to keen observation to playfulness. The musicians’ synergy in listening and responding to each other further elevates the experience.

These expressive sessions also contributed to Bob Gluck’s upcoming book, “Pat Metheny: Stories Beyond Words,” intertwining musical insights with textual research. I look forward to reading the book and suspect that the recording and book mutually enrich each other. Pat Metheny, as a subject of artistic investigation, is deserving of such attention. Bravo.
