As a teenager, legendary guitarist Pat Metheny regularly jammed with Kansas City’s best jazz musicians. That experience of sitting in with more mature players lead to his latest project, Side-Eye. Metheny says Side-Eye is meant to give a platform to “new and upcoming musicians who have particularly caught my interest.” Houston native pianist James Francies, who is equally at home in the worlds of jazz and R&B and up-and-coming New Orleans native drummer Joe Dyson clearly fit the bill.
