By the time he graduated from high school he was the first-call guitarist for Kansas City jazz clubs, private clubs, and jazz festivals. He attributes his early success to the local musical environment he was brought up in and the players and teachers who nurtured his talent and welcomed him into the jazz community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"patmetheny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53127023394927,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/2723\/4159\/files\/beneath-missouri-skies_1.jpg?v=1779198478","url":"https:\/\/shop.portmerch.com\/products\/beneath-missouri-skies-paperback","provider":"Port Merchandise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
