(3) Metro is a jazz ensemble consisting of Mitchel Forman and Chuck Loeb, working in tandem with Wolfgang Haffner and Victor Bailey. The band was founded in spring 1994 by Chuck Loeb and Mitchel Forman, who have dreamed of starting their own cooperative band project for over 20 years since they worked together for Stan Getz. During their long career they have often met again - including for a tour and live-album by saxman Bill Evans called "Petite Blonde", but they have never led a band together before "Metro". For the steady band they looked for a great bassman and drummer. Originally Dennis Chambers was invited to join the band, but he was busy with a commercial job for the first tour of Europe in spring of 1994. So German drummer Wolfgang Haffner was invited on the recommendation of bassman Anthony Jackson who had worked with him on several occassions in Europe - and it worked out great. The band recorded their first album - called metro like the band - directly after the tour at the "Hansahaus"-Studios in Bonn, Germany. Since then they have played a second tour of Europe with concerts in France, Poland and Germany. The press reactions were almost as good as the reactions of the audience - and many journalists remarked that the band plays "Power fusion" instead of "elevator crap". In spring 1995 Anthony Jackson left the band and was succeeded by bassman Victor Bailey (ex-Weather Report, Petite Blonde, Madonna a.o.). They recorded the new album "Tree People" and were be performing live in spring of 1996 in Germany ,Austria and other European countries. Their second album "Tree People" is available in France through JMS/Sony Distribution (4) Another act called Metro consists of 5 guys from Passau, Germany, who started to play together in mid-2006: Christian Ulbrich(synths), Gabriel Bartl(guitar), Benjamin Block(vocals, guitar), Leo Schmidt(drums) and Michael Uhl(bass). In early 2007 they performed the songs they had finnished up to that point to positive audience reactions. (5) One other incarnation of the band "Metro" featured a core of three multi-instrumentalists, Peter Godwin, Duncan Browne and Sean Lyons whose debut ('Metro') was released in the late '70s on the Transatlantic label. Somewhat difficult to pigeon-hole in terms of style, one possible description could be "underground Paris soft rock" coincidentally harking back to the band's name, the music being strongly evocative of loss, passion and lust in a city of romance such as Paris. "Criminal World" the first single from the debut, was later covered by David Bowie, although the original remains the definitive version. "Flame" and its "Overture" are highlight tracks that would be appreciated across many genres of listeners. After recording a follow-up (New Love) and the untimely death of Duncan Browne (who leaves behind his own extensive discography) the voice of the band, Peter Godwin went on to record some disco-oriented material with some mainland European success. (6)An alternative rock band from Turkey, releasing just one album named "Avucumda Gokyuzu". (7) Metro is a soundsystem. (8) Metro is a polish hip hop producer. (9) Metro is an Indie Rock act from Luxembourg. (10) Metro is a Christian rock band from Northern Ireland. (11)Metro also refers to Indian Movie whose songs were massively popular
