Travels is a track by the Pat Metheny Group and the title on their 1983 live double album Travels. Recorded on tour in 1982 - in Philadelphia, Dallas, Sacramento, Hartford and Nacogdoches - the album captures the band's jazz fusion sound, with Pat Metheny on guitars, Lyle Mays on keyboards, Steve Rodby on bass, Dan Gottlieb on drums, and Nana Vasconcelos on percussion. The compositions, credited to Metheny and Mays, blend intricate melodies and live interplay, and the track Travels itself lasts about five minutes. Travels won the 1984 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance and was released on ECM, produced by Manfred Eicher and Metheny. It sits among PMG highlights from the early 80s and followed the success of Offramp.
