Pat Metheny Group

Pat Metheny Group is the long-running jazz fusion ensemble led by guitarist Pat Metheny, a multi Grammy Award winner whose name has become closely associated with the project. Built around Metheny’s guitar voice and collaborative band setting, the group became one of the most recognizable outlets for his work. Most of his albums with the band were released under the Pat Metheny Group moniker, giving the project a clear identity across his catalog. The group is often described through its jazz fusion foundation, with a sound that connects improvisation, melody, and ensemble interplay in a way that has helped Metheny reach listeners well beyond a traditional jazz audience. In anime, the piece “Last Train Home” was used as the end theme of the anime adaptation JoJo's Bizarre Adventure during the second half of the show's Stardust Crusaders arc. That placement brought the band's music to a wider audience and linked the group name to one of the most memorable soundtrack associations in anime. For listeners searching for who Pat Metheny Group is, the project represents a major chapter in Metheny’s career: a jazz fusion collaboration centered on his guitar playing, a consistent band identity, and music that has crossed into anime through “Last Train Home.”
