Rejoicing is an album by American jazz guitarist Pat Metheny recorded over two days in November 1983 and released on ECM the following year. The trio features rhythm section Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins, both of whom played with Ornette Coleman in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Background
In addition to his own compositions, Metheny plays three compositions by Coleman, and Horace Silver's "Lonely Woman" (not to be confused with the Coleman composition of the same title, which Metheny does not play on the album).
