Is he like the Kenny G of Gypsy Jazz? You know I've wondered recently whether instead of using disgusting techniques like waterboarding etc as a means of getting information, the US Gov should just pipe Kenny G and Michael Bolton into cells. Imagine, Kenny and Michael 24/7. Or worse still, a duet. (Shudders.) Who on earth is Pat Metheny? Is he like the Kenny G of Gypsy Jazz?

You want to know if this is any good, I'm here to tell you--it ain't. Sure he can play his guitar like a virtuoso but where’s the song? There was one moment when it seemed like a tune was emerging and he ruined it by zooming up to 300 plucks a minute. As if that makes it good!? AND, people start cheering.

I am still listening to more gypsy/Central/East European music than I have in my life. I must come to Brooklyn immediately with our impoverished Berlin resident for some pivo and dusha. Sorry.
