I have included a category for you haters out there as well...

Also, the trio stuff he did with Kenwood Dennard and John Scofield was great. |

I had a very hard time choosing between the first three categories and still find myself changing.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Los Angeles, CA | | | Bright Size Life is in my all-time top 10, and the solo debut is still stunning. I've been playing "Portrait of Tracy" for 15 years and that last harmonic is still only about 50/50...

A close, but far second would be Bright Sized Life. As much as I love his solo and Weather Report work, it's those two records for me. |
