NIS Posted February 24, 2021 Report Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks for this topic. Took a look at my collection and found more favorite albums from this decade than I would have thought. Richard Grossman - "Solo Piano Improvisations" Henry Threadgill - "Rag, Bush And All" Michael Moore's Available Jelly - "Available Jelly" Antonello Salis - "Orange Juice/Nice Food" Sean Bergin - "Kids Mysteries" (first CD I ever bought) Kahil El'Zabar/Lester Bowie/Malachi Favors - "The Ritual"" Quintet Moderne - "Ikkanan Takana=Behind The Window" Ganelin Trio - "Jerusalem February Cantabile" Walt Dickerson - "Life Rays" Dave Burrell - "Windward Passages" Quote
duaneiac Posted February 24, 2021 Report Posted February 24, 2021 Probably not a favorite of very many here, but this was a pretty good selling, Grammy winning album in its time. I still like it. Quote

Rabshakeh Posted February 24, 2021 Report Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Funny / surprising how little Pat Metheny there is in this thread... Edited February 24, 2021 by Rabshakeh Quote
Dub Modal Posted February 24, 2021 Report Posted February 24, 2021 Has his Rejoicing album been mentioned yet? It's a great one. I'd put anything with Lyle Mays here too. Quote

Very good artist, but not my favourite, I guess, but I think that if this were a different board, he would be extremely prominent. The recent Jazz Times polls, that were discussed in a different thread, were roughly 60% Metheny from the 80s onwards. Or at least they seemed liked that. Edited February 24, 2021 by Rabshakeh Quote

Expand I think you're right that Metheny is over-represented in those polls. There's just too much. Then again, Metheny did some very interesting things in the 1980s. I dig a lot of what he's done -- and what his music represents -- even if he isn't one of my very favorite artists. Just my take, of course. Quote
