Unity Band, due from Nonesuch on June 12, 2012, introduces a new Metheny ensemble with Chris Potter on sax and bass clarinet, longtime collaborator Antonio Sanchez on drums, and the up-and-coming Ben Williams on bass. The album features nine new Metheny compositions. The Pat Metheny Unity Band will tour the United States this summer and fall, with stops in 39 cities; see below for all of the currently announced date and go to nonesuch.com/on-tour for details. Pre-orders of Unity Band are available now in the Nonesuch Store and include a print signed by Metheny and an instant download of the opening track, “New Year.”"
