I am a big Pat Metheny fan, but I just can't listen to this. I tried to on several different occasions, but I had to shut it off.Listen to some of the samples, and you will hear for yourself.If you are looking to begin a Pat Metheny collection, stay away from this CD. Start with any of the following: Letter From Home, Speaking of Now, TRIO 99-00, Quesion and Answer, Rejoicing, Secret Story, First Circle, New Chautauqua, or just about anything other than this.
