PAT METHENY GROUP

If any progressive rock fan wants to get into jazz, this is the first album that they should hear. This is the album that got me interested in jazz. It truly is a masterpiece. Pat Metheny is one of, if not the most progressive jazz musician. He makes the boundaries between rock and jazz become one at times.

The production on this album is fantastic. Recorded at Talent Studios in Oslo, the production sounds as if it was recorded today. The playing of each member truly stands out and every member is showcased. Being only 24 years old, Pat Metheny showed the music world what he was capable of. This album is utterly fantastic. Perfection.
