7/4 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I heard 'em on the Reunion tour in '89. I like this side of Pat. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 The other cool thing is that all those tunes are in the first Real Book. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Peter Max cover, so it's really more like the '60's. Still pretty ugly. They're also touring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bill Barton Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 CD arrived in the mail yesterday... One listen so far. Didn't exactly "jump out" of the speakers, if you know what I mean, but very pleasant. Hip setlist too... Mo' later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr jazz Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm seeing them in a small club in Annapolis MD next month. I'll have to pick up the new cd, Reunion sounded pretty darn good the other night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Just came home with it plus the three Legacy Editions that were released...... About to open the Burton. Funny how it's a Metheny Group Productions release but released on Concord. Pat is still with Nonesuch, so I guess it's released on Concord since Burton's still with them.

GA Russell Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I listened to this last night on Lala. I like it too. I think it's more of a Pat Metheny album than a Gary Burton album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) I think that's what surprised me. BTW, I love the cover art. Edited May 31, 2009 by 7/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Shearn Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'm a biased Pathead, but I think this is some of his best sideman playing since Kenny Garrett's "Pursuance". Pat is very inspired by Gary, Steve and Antonio, and he is very creative. I like how his synth solo on "Q&A" presents a different look than the official and bootleg versions I have of the tune. I love the guitar sound on the record too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr jazz Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 took a couple of listens to absorb, but overall quite enjoyable. SQ just ok, IMO. Looking forward to the show on the 23rd. I will see if I can get the cd signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldB3 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Good interview with Gary with a stream of the record for those interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I heard a track this morning on Sirius. I was a little surprised because they don't often play songs without hummable melodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert h. Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I like the record, but it lacks the fire of Burton's ECM period, and in truth, Metheny has become somewhat cliche'd in his playing, and Burton is not as inspired as he was in the ECM days, becoming more of a straight ahead player. That early ECM period was really more driven by the great Mick Goodrick than by Metheny, and Goodrick is a better player. Soundwise there is a letdown here with Burton being further down in the mix and lighter tonally and the bass a bit on the heavy side as seems fashionable these days. Nice one but the ECM titles with Goodrick and Metheny are the essentials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I don't think it's fair to say Pat has become cliched in his playing. Yes he has a lot of licks, but he played some of the best I ever heard him play last summer in Woodstock with Jack DeJohnette and Larry Grenadier, they were playing standards like "I'll Remember April" and "Dolphin Dance". I also have a live show from the PMG's stint touring as a quartet in January in Tokyo, and Pat's playing is great there, especially on tunes they haven't played in more than 20 years.
