HMV Review

While Brazilian music had captured Pat Metheny's attention since the '70s, he placed an especially strong emphasis on Brazilian elements in the late '80s. A master of uniting seemingly disparate elements as a cohesive whole, the imaginative guitarist effectively combines Brazilian-influenced harmonies and rhythm with jazz, folk, and pop elements on So May It Secretly Begin, Third Wind, Minuano (Six Eight), and other celebrated gems included on Still Life (Talking). The Brazilian leanings are put aside on one of Metheny's most unique offerings ever, Last Train Home, which boasts a charming Western theme that brings to mind a peaceful journey across the Arizona desert. That may not sound like the description of a jazz piece, but then, making the unlikely a reality is among Metheny's many admirable qualities. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

    これは傑作です!パットとメイズの楽曲創造が開花した作品と位置づけます。パーカッションが全面に出始めたのも この頃からでは〜翼を広げて 空中散歩するような壮大なスケール感に圧倒されます。
