Oh! Thought it might be another former classmate of yours that I am familiar with.

That got a little mad at my once about a decade ago because of…well maybe I will save it. Listening to this now. Good stuff!

Surprised by the zero votes for Metheny, only because the biggest jazz fanatic I knew in school (which is saying a lot because I knew quite a few who were dedicated fans, playing in bands, hosting a jazz radio show on the school's radio station, etc.) was also a guitarist who worshipped Metheny, and now that he's teaching somewhere I'm sure he's pushing him on to his students. I would never vote for him but despite my reservations I have grown to like him, he's a good sideman on a good number of albums I really like and I love the one he did with Ornette Coleman.

Having his name misspelled might not have helped his vote count. I'm enthralled by about half the tracks on his debut, respect his outing with Ornette, and everything else I've heard completely escapes me. Especially when he plays that guitar synth sound that sound like my cat talking to the birds: "mew mew mew mew mew mew...mew mew mew mew mew".
More to the point, where's Terje Rypdal?!?

...who I see was mentioned once above. As was Lenny Breau, who deserves attention though I wouldn't have voted for him.

For people who never clicked with Metheny or have only heard his smoother side, check out his playing on Kenny Garrett's Pursuance record,it's fierce.

This is how I feel about a lot of his music. His sound ranges from tolerable to awful on most records for me, and sound/tone is everything to me. He smokes on that Trio 99/00 album though and sounds better than usual as well.

And the Gary Burton album 'Like Minds' with Chick Corea and Roy Haynes, he's great on that.
