Question and Answer

Roy Haynes!! Who can ask for anything more???

I bought this album on cassette in 1990 or so when it came out. It blew me away then and still does even to this day. Anyone interested in jazz, improvised music and/or drums should listen to this album.

Everyone is playing at their highest level and the tune choices are great as well. In particular, I have always had a soft spot for the Pat Metheny tune, "Change of Heart" that is on this album. Beautiful Melody!!!!!!!

As for Roy Haynes...MAN, what can you say?? His playing on this album is as it always is: Swinging, Fresh, Hip, Melodic and just plain cool!!!!!

Great Record! August 3, 2007

Jazz perfection...a classic

If you don't like this album, you don't like jazz. I love this album more and more as time goes on, with classic signatures of 3 jazz greats.
Roy Haynes, a pioneer along with Miles and trane, is a treasure on the drums. Metheny, not only the best jazz guitarist ever, but a great composer as well. And Dave Holland, a fantastic bass player and musician.

A very beautiful album, period. January 21, 2007

One of the great sessions

With such powerhouse personnel, one could hardly miss. Roy Haynes is probably the most underated jazz drummer among the major players. This recording is a bona-fide classic in a somewhat traditional mode. After this recording, people started talking about Methany as a jazz guitarist - which he is - among all the rest that this seminal musician is. The interpretation of "All The Things You Are" may be the best of all time. April 13, 2006

Out of print?

Just briefly - I can't understand why this album is domestically out of print and only available as an expensive import... February 16, 2006

great cd!

having been bored with much of the recent music currently available i have been rediscovering alot of older music. i have always enjoyed pat metheny in his group setting and took a chance and bought this cd...and am i happy i did so... i fully agree with all of the other reviews of this cd; i think this rates up there with his finest work. if you enjoy pats music you owe it to yourself to try this one out...you won't be sorry you did!
