Engineer – Gragg LunsfordWritten-By – Mays, Metheny. Written-By – Mays, Metheny. Offramp ‎(CD, Album, RE). ECM Records, ECM Records. ECM 1216, 78118-21216-2.

Clearly influenced by Jim Hall, the thoughtful Metheny makes excellent use of space, choosing his notes wisely and reminding listeners that, while he has heavy-duty chops, he's not one to beat everybody over the head with them. Even when he picks up the tempo for the difficult and angular title song, he shuns empty musical acrobatics. Throughout the CD, Metheny enjoys a powerful rapport with keyboardist Lyle Mays, who also avoids exploiting his technique and opts for meaningful storytelling.

Pat Metheny Group is the first album by the Pat Metheny Group, released in 1978.

Travels is the Pat Metheny Group's first live album, released in 1983. It won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance. The album consists of live material recorded in July, October, and November 1982, in Philadelphia, Dallas, Sacramento, Hartford, and Nacogdoches (Texas). The Group for this album consisted of Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Steve Rodby, Dan Gottlieb, and guest Nana Vasconcelos.

From this point onwards, it has often been near-impossible to discern whether it is Lyle or Pat who is playing any particular phrase. On this album, Pat chose to generate trumpet-like sounds, particularly for the opening 'Barcarole' and the anthemic 'Are You Going With Me?'. A friend at the time asked me, "Why didn't he just use a real trumpet?"

Some may bemoan the fact that he was closer to pop or soundtrack music than jazz, but Pat Metheny has always had an exceptional ear for beautiful melodies and well-crafted arrangements-this.
