PAT METHENY UNITY BAND
It's possible that the last time Pat Metheny played a club gig in town, it was the mid-'70s at the Longhorn Bar, better known as the breeding ground of Twin Cities punk. The guitar superstar meteorically graduated to concert halls, but his new project with the Unity Band -- Chris Potter, Antonio Sanchez and new face on bass Ben Williams -- is bringing him back to intimate venues. Multi-reedman Potter, a jazz insider's favorite, is getting his biggest mainstream exposure as the first sax player to grace a Metheny album since Dewey Redman and Michael Brecker traded licks on the double LP "80/81" more than 30 years ago.
