Composed by Lyle Mays and Pat Metheny. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1170. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1170). English.Another amazing, exciting chart has been added to the Pat Metheny Series! Bob Curnow's arrangement of Metheny/Mays' composition "Stranger In Town" hits you in the face right from the start and ends in the same manner. With typical Metheny/Mays flavor, there is a musical shift in the middle as solo space for tenor saxophone emerges, followed by a full ensemble "interlude" which then takes us to a peak ending. Originally recorded by PMG on their album We Live Here, Curnow has once again masterfully arranged this tune to fit perfectly in a big band setting! 5-4-4-4.
