by Arturo Mora, mid-June 2003 for tomajazz
On mid-June 2005 the Pat Metheny Group was in the middle of the European leg of their The Way Up world tour. Arturo Mora had the chance to talk to Pat Metheny while the guitarrist was in Nice (France). Here’s the transcription of the interview Pat gave to Tomajazz.
Arturo Mora: First of all, what about your illness? I heard you had a problem in an ear.
Pat Metheny: Yes, I had a kind of ear infection thing that has been aggravated by flying. It’s not bad, it’s just that anytime I go flying it gets really worse, so I’m trying to not fly. That’s kind of what it’s about and that’s why I couldn’t come now.
Arturo Mora: OK, but it’s not affecting you playing.
Pat Metheny: If I don’t watch it it can affect my playing a little bit. It’s actually something I had to deal with for a long, long time. I had an ear problem when I was a kid. It’s not a big deal. That’s what prevented me from coming to Barcelona, but I’m glad with you talking at the phone.
Arturo Mora: I hope you recover soon.
Pat Metheny: Thank you.
