The Pat Metheny Group's first album featured the innovative guitarist alongside keyboardist Lyle Mays, bassist Mark Egan and drummer Dan Gottlieb. The music is quite particular, lively but not swinging, electric but not rocking, and full of folk melodies. The best-known songs of Metheny's original six are “Phase Dance” and “Jaco.”
