(2002)		 The Way Up

The Way Up is the Grammy award winning thirteenth album by the Pat Metheny Group, released in 2005. The album consists of one 68 minute-long piece, split into four tracks solely for CD navigation. The album is a showcase for the band's ability in solo improvisation and dynamics.

The tunes are apparently influenced by the works of contemporary composer Steve Reich, with whom Pat Metheny has collaborated in the past. Reich is credited on the CD with "very special thanks" along with Eberhard Weber, another musician Metheny has worked with.

"The Way Up" composed by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays:

  1. "The Way Up: Opening" – 5:17
  2. "The Way Up: Part One" – 26:27
  3. "The Way Up: Part Two" – 20:29
  4. "The Way Up: Part Three" – 15:54
