New Chautauqua is a solo album by jazz guitarist Pat Metheny , recorded in August 1978 and released on ECM in April 1979.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch wrote: "For all its delights, and they are considerable, Metheny's first solo venture is an exercise in arrangement and effect. As pure music, it drifts. The listener's attention does likewise."[ 9]
