It’s difficult to categorize contemporary guitar/guitar synth pioneer Pat Metheny‘s “Are You Going With Me?” (1989). But the key changes are far less ambiguous.
The tune’s intensity grows little by little, driven by the Metheny Group’s trademark wordless vocals and Lyle Mays‘ fluid keyboard lines. The performance was likely heightened by the huge scale of the live setting, Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. The first modulation hits at 3:44; the second key change “telegraphs” melodically by hinting at the shift slightly before its arrival at 5:20.
