As much as I love Wes, I just wanted to point out how incredible the piano solo is in this vid. Blew me away  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeRf89DLDA8
Martial Solal. I never even heard of the guy...

Ya think Pat Metheny was inspired by Wes at all?  |

| Actually, Pat was influenced more by Jim Hall. I saw Jim several years ago, and thought 'Now I get it...' |

Jim Hall and Wes were both huge influences on Metheny. |

The live version that's on several of his compilations is just smoking, but this version is pretty good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCUE6AWfOPs

I absolutely love Wes. I love what Pat did with Wes though, took it, mixed it with Coltrane, and got something magical. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
