Metheny & Mays made some wonderful music. One of my all-time faves:

I forget how I found The Metheny Group, but in 1986 I saw them live at an outdoor amphitheater. They began the concert with band members playing Forward March from within the audience, and marching slowly to the stage while smiling & laughing with the crowd. When they broke into Yolanda, You Learn everyone got goosebumps. Much better energy than the recording.yep...this is a major part of my late teen years when I was trying to get "back in touch" with jazz after living in the metal/punk world for a while...I have tons of great memories of driving around at night, windows down, listening to this
I've seen Pat Metheny with Antonio Sanchez a few years back (2009 I think). It was in Burlington Vermont. That was where I bought my copy of "Imaginary Day" and the Metheny Songbook by Hal Leonard.I forget how I found The Metheny Group, but in 1986 I saw them live at an outdoor amphitheater.

To this day it’s one of the best concerts I’ve attended.
Cheers mate, enjoyed that. ?Jamey Johnson. Contemplative country. Superlative stuff. Give the WHOLE song a listen.
