Saw Pat perform that record while a junior in college touring with Lyle. Put his acoustic up a stand so he could rake those harmonics without dropping his electric.
Mind blowing concert experience.
Still gets regular play in my world as well.
And of course, anyone who suggests that Jim Hall is the world’s greatest jazz guitar player clearly has his head on straight. I might not say best ever, but I drove to NYC from Baltimore a number of years ago in advance of a blizzard to hang with Mr. Hall at the Blue Note.
Pat’s also a big Wes guy as well. But what makes the PMG so special is Pat and Lyle...I’ve got Pat’s records he did with Brad Mehldau, he’s a great piano player and all, but he ain’t Lyle. Pat and Lyle are the Lennon and McCartney of instrumental music. And I wish Pat would stop with the trio and Orchestion stuff and get back to making records with Lyle.
