Playing for the first time in the Muriel Kauffman Theatre, a surprisingly intimate 1,800-person room that opened, along with the rest of the performing arts center in which it’s housed, in 2011, Pat Metheny had a space ideally suited for his famously buttery tone.

Once after a Saratoga Springs club gig, I asked Pat Metheny about the delay since his last local show. He said he always brings new music to his audience so he doesn't come back until he's made some, a mission statement both conscientious and creative.
