Master piece

Antonio Sánchez... extraordinario

I was lucky enough to see this show twice, both in CT. There is a DVD available of this show which is great. I wish they had left in the Bright Size Life tune which was part of the show.

One of the best songs from Speaking of Now!

bob curnow did a great job on this

Celestial tune..

we played this my sophomore year in band...Our marching show was called "The gathering sky" it was the best show we've ever played!

With that said, I doubt that reading notes and practicing and grasping, say, piano would make my love and understanding of the tunes I have loved for years any greater. Perhaps a maestro will get the nuances, but that stands for .01% of the world population.

Pat, please bring the group back!

Incredible song

WOW

This song is beautiful and a lot simpler than much of Metheny's other stuff. I think a big part of the magic of the tune is the way it's played -- effortless, subtle.

@ExpensiveToiletpaper never question the Great Pat Metheny's genius.

I did know of them and have met a few. I am a big wine collector, as in BIG. After music, it is my passion. I agree with you. I just read an article by the great Jancis Robinson regarding Malbec and Argentina's wines. She became very technical about degrees of sunshine as they affect that ideal Argentinean varietal and phenols.

@Narutorocks143 Well, no wonder that is ... Metheny offers good audio quality in his music as well. A perfectionist in every kinda way ..

I was on the club circuit for a decade and love all sorts of music. Yes, Bob James is great, but I love Sanborn and Monk as much as Ritenour and Montgomery. My two uncles are/were master piano players. I had a choice: do I become great in the clubs/studio or play guitar or drums? I always wanted to take a music-language class and postponed it.

ah this is great!

Priceless 🤣

were playing this for our marching band...sounds alot diffrent

To działa na mnie terapeutycznie.

@sastal i agree that you dont have to be musically trained to appreciate music. thats the beauty of it, its a universal language we can all enjoy. But lets say you are a wine critic, you find one of the most delicious wines you've ever tasted; would you not wanna to know how it was made? the process of aging? ingredients? the secrets of the taste? knowing these things wont change the flavor, they just add to the appreciation and respect to the wine maker. Thats my view at least.

@bij013 from the album Speaking of Now, released on 2002

@sastal there's nothing wrong with "analyzing" music. It adds to the enjoyment of it because understanding the complexity of what the musicians are doing builds appreciation. And by the way "musically trained people" are bad spelars becus we diched inglish class to practis more :P

@gtarszzz Fair view, though I believe the Freddie argument is a good one. Writers who are famous in the wine biz (Parker, Coates, Robinson) do have a solid foundation of wine-making, to a degree. I doubt their knowledge of acidity levels and fermentation techniques would change their love (“appreciation”) of a particular vintage, however. In the end, wine is an art more than a science and any of their reviews rarely include technical jargon.

@ExpensiveToiletpaper yea i was thinking this too...that tone sounds as if it would go great with maybe someting off of first circle or american garage...not this.

@ParallaxDrums jajajaja XD most of the solo is in 3/4 because he is making bembe clave ;) obiously he loves to make things with his hands in other time signatures.. he plays 4/4 clave with cascara in the hands.. while doing this bembe clave.. i know.. he is a monster =´D

@gtarszzz Good response, but I do not believe that their appreciation is greater than anyone else's. Today is the 20th anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death. He admittedly "claimed that he could barely read music." Would you "musically trained people" dare to tell me that you can appreciate music more than he did? I hope you get my point. You are not appreciating it more than anyone else. It's like saying a winemaker can appreciate wine more than a critic or collector. I beg to differ,

@sastal did you already know those wine makers? or did u look em up? im just curious if you already knew em. And yes thats what i meant by not changing the flavor. All I'm gonna say is that analyzing does not take away from appreciation and if someone wants to talk about it, there is nothing wrong with it (you wouldn't tell wine critics to stop talking bout wine making right). But again thats my opinion.

Which os rhythm timing?

How on earth didnt it fit??? Suppose you wanted distortion.

Can you musically-trained people just listen to this without analyzing it? Imagine, just you and the beauty of the music. I don't care what claves they're hitting. By the way, learn to spell correctly, please. Thank you, Simo

WTF.

With all due respect, I prefer the kick-ass style of their former drummer Dan Gottleib. This one is a hella drummer, no doubt, but....that cowbell thing is....uh....nah.
