Pat Metheny: Watercolors Wersja na CD w standardowe wydanie. Ta konkretna edycja została wydana w Niemcy w wydawnictwie ECM Records dnia 1. lutego 2019.

"Metheny's songs are perfect for his guitar playing, which blends seamlessly with the ensemble's amazing playing," said the Massachusetts Valley Advocate. This is Pat's first album with Lyle. "You can hear them striving for the sound that would develop on the Pat Metheny Group album a year later," Down Beat later wrote. With Danny Gottlieb on drums, three-quarters of Metheny's band is represented here. The Watercolors lineup is rounded out by Eberhard Weber, with whom Metheny had already worked in Gary Burton's band. In 2019, ECM celebrates 50 years of continuous independent music production, an anniversary that warrants a look back at the journey so far. The Touchstones reissue series highlights the albums that have been made over this long period. It includes many recordings that are now considered milestones in the history of jazz and improvisation. In 2019, 50 Touchstones will be released: the first 25 in January, the next 25 in May. The first Touchstones collection was released to great acclaim on the occasion of ECM's 40th anniversary. As it did a decade ago, the 2019 reissue offers what contributed to ECM's reputation: great music, amazing sound, and original graphics.

Album sięga do gatunku Jazz, Fusion i Contemporary Jazz. Touchstones Gatefold Papersleeve.
