One of the Best and fascinating album of the one and only PMG . I salute the masters who introduced music beyond what was out there back in late seventies. Versatile drummer Danny gottlieb and bass player Mark egan along with Pat metheny and Lyle mays created real music. I have been listening to them since 1978 and there has not been a single day in my life without them . RIP Lyle and Nana. You will never be forgotten .
学生だった当時FMでたまたま聴いたサンロレンツォに衝撃を覚えその週末に速攻でアルバムを買った。収録されてる全曲の素晴らしい仕上がりにとにかく驚かされた。そしてこのApril Joy を初めて聴いた時には本当に感動した。特にイントロ Mark Egan の印象的なフレットレスベースが好きで何度も何度も繰り返し聴いていた。あれからもう45年... 遠い昔だけど昨日のことのように鮮明に覚えている。PMGの音楽とリアルタイムで出会えて本当にラッキーだったと思う。
One of my favorite groups ever regardless of genre!!!! I remember when this project came out and I was on my weekly trek in Tower Records in Hollywood and saw this cassette in the Jazz section. I'd never heard of the group and wondered if this cassette was in the wrong section because these dudes looked like a rock band! As was my custom, I took a chance buying albums and cassettes by groups I'd never heard of and picked this up. When I played the cassette in my car on the way back home, MY MIND WAS BLOWN!!!!! I found out that The Pat Metheny Group was going to be in concert at The Roxy in Hollywood and bought my ticket. The concert, one of the best concerts I've ever seen to this day, was almost three hours long!!!! Jazzers who look like rockers. My stereotyping of musicians based on their looks ended after this concert!!!
Best composition ever
