Legendary American guitarist, composer, improviser and 20-time Grammy winner Pat Metheny announces the release of his newest album, MoonDial, on BMG on July 26. As on his previous recordings One Quiet Night (2003) and What's It All About (2011), MoonDial is purely a solo guitar record with no overdubs, recorded on baritone guitar. What sets MoonDial apart from those projects is the guitar itself: a custom-built nylon-string instrument made by Linda Manzer, a close collaborator of Metheny's and one of the world's premier luthiers. For the previous albums Metheny developed a special tuning system that conventional nylon strings are not able to achieve "without breaking or sounding like a banjo," as Metheny says, and his discovery last fall of a new kind of string made in Argentina that was up to the task opened up the world of possibilities heard on MoonDial. 1.
