Antonello Salis - "Orange Juice/Nice Food"

Sean Bergin - "Kids Mysteries" (first CD I ever bought)

Kahil El'Zabar/Lester Bowie/Malachi Favors - "The Ritual""

Quintet Moderne - "Ikkanan Takana=Behind The Window"

Has his Rejoicing album been mentioned yet? It's a great one. 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.  ;)
