The Pat Metheny Trio is an acclaimed jazz ensemble led by the virtuosic guitarist and composer Pat Metheny. The group typically features Metheny alongside a rotating lineup of accomplished musicians, but it has often included the likes of bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Bill Stewart, among others. The trio format allows Metheny's complex and melodically rich compositions to flourish in a more intimate setting compared to his work with the Pat Metheny Group. Metheny's expansive approach to jazz incorporates elements from various genres, ranging from progressive rock to classical, while maintaining a deep-rooted connection to the jazz tradition.

Over the years, the Pat Metheny Trio has released a series of significant albums that have solidified their status within the modern jazz scene. Among their most celebrated works are 'Trio-Live' and 'Trio 99-00', both of which showcase the dynamic interplay and spontaneous creativity that have become hallmarks of their live performances. While albums like 'Romance In Paris Jazz' and 'Romantic Moments' capture the more lyrical and tender aspects of Metheny's playing, 'Animated (Music For Bars)' reveals his ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that resonate with listeners. The thematic album 'A Drop Of Pleasure' further exemplifies the trio's versatility and Metheny's storytelling prowess through music. Each release adds to the rich tapestry of Metheny's illustrious career and the trio's contribution to the evolution of contemporary jazz.
