DAY TRIP, the first release from Metheny's current trio lineup, featuring bassist Christian McBride and drummer Antonio Sanchez, vividly depicts the group at one particularly inspired moment. On this release, Metheny offers plenty of excitement in his solos and the trio cranks up the funk on "The Red One" (a version of which was previously released on Metheny's collaboration with John Scofield I Can See Your House from Here).
