duaneiac Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Probably not a favorite of very many here, but this was a pretty good selling, Grammy winning album in its time. I still like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Funny / surprising how little Pat Metheny there is in this thread... Edited February 24, 2021 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Has his Rejoicing album been mentioned yet? It's a great one. I'd put anything with Lyle Mays here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put anything with Lyle Mays here too. I may have skipped over it, but I hadn't seen any of his records so far. Very good artist, but not my favourite, I guess, but I think that if this were a different board, he would be extremely prominent. The recent Jazz Times polls, that were discussed in a different thread, were roughly 60% Metheny from the 80s onwards. Or at least they seemed liked that.

I think you're right that Metheny is over-represented in those polls. There's just too much. Then again, Metheny did some very interesting things in the 1980s. I dig a lot of what he's done -- and what his music represents -- even if he isn't one of my very favorite artists. Just my take, of course.

"My Shining Hour" from that one was a staple of the afternoon drive-time programming of the AM Jazz station we had in the late 70s...that "Comedy Tonight" quote still rings in the ears!
