MUSIC: On heavy rotation

I really appreciate very much Pat Metheny, an incredible Jazz guitarist and a very kind and humble person, at a minimum on stage ;-) I bought recently a DVD of one of its concert with the Pat Metheny Group (PMG): Imaginary Day, recorded live and filmed in 1998 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga (USA, California). Pat is technically and melodically an extraterrestrial, so good! The band is doing a very good job in the background, special mention to Lyle Mays, the pianist. The sound quality and rendered surround-mix is execellent. The production is…quite bad, so to speak, funny! As when you are discovering and testing the visual effects and transitions of Adobe Premiere for the first time :-) Anyway, all in all, a very interesting DVD and musical experience with Pat Metheny!

I’ve seen Pat for a while in another band-context – his Trio – during the last Montreux Jazz Festival.
