Jim Hall In Memoriam (1930 – 2013)
Ted Panken: That’s a good segue to ask you about your duo with Jim Hall (Pat Metheny and Jim Hall). You’ve said that along with Wes Montgomery he’s the guitarist who had the biggest impact on you.
Pat Metheny: Definitely. I’ve said this before, that I call him the father of modern jazz guitar, in the sense that all of us — Frisell, Sco, Mick Goodrick, Abercrombie, especially the five of us — are all very easily traceable through Jim’s thing, yet at the same time we don’t sound very much like each other.
