I would like to hear some more Metheny. I love his work on one of my favourite live albums Shadows and Lights by Joni Mitchell.

Iv'e seen other videos from this show, although I was more in tune with watching Jaco play. Didn't even know till this vid that Pat was there too.

Jaco does dominate but the whole band are so damn good. I will have to get that album. I used to have it on vinyl back in the good old days!

He gets a bad rap in my opinion, but it's partly his fault for writing and performing all the commercial stuff he does.

He did a nice straight ahead album with John Scofield a few years ago called I Can See Your House From Here. There's a few tunes on it where they stomp on the distortion and let it rip for a few choruses :) Bill Stewart on drums too :love:

His new trio album is really good. It is with Antonio Sanchez and Christian McBride. However, other FANTASTIC jazz guitarists are John Scolfield and Bill Frisell. It gets to a point where they are all so amazing you can't judge...

What about Joe Pass? I really like his stuff, anyone there with me?

Well said. For me, it's apples and oranges that are being compared. Definitely depends on the mood and person.
