Jazz guitarist/composer Pat Metheny has recorded and released what might be called a directors commentary for many of his albums, and it’s interesting stuff to listen to even if you are not a big fan of the genre or his music, because he describes the creative process behind many of the tracks and what inspired their creation and so on. You can find the commentaries on his podcast page (some of them require iTunes), or you can download them all directly from this newsfeed.
