Frogman, Figures you would be "steps ahead". hahaha
I did give a quick listen to the Metheny, Brecker, McBride Jazz Baltica 2003. I do like Metheny but that straight up jazz guitar stuff just doesn’t (usually) do much for me. I did not get too far into it. Maybe it just starts off slow. That being my usual response to "jazz guitar" is one reason the Les McCann "On Time" album with Joe Pass surprised me. I don’t expect to like such playing. This is not to say the Jazz Baltica performance is not objectively good! Just another demonstration of my "bad taste", no doubt. I’ll give it another go tonight.
