Pat Metheny One Quiet Night

I’ll tell you, Symbad, that this album initially left me quite cold; it seemed like "the usual stuff" or maybe I was expecting something different. However, after giving it another listen, I liked it, and even today, I don’t mind it. It may not be among my favorites, but it holds its own, although I still have the impression that for Metheny, making a record like this is "easy" and not a challenge. I preferred the last album of the group, "the way up," in this regard, even if I understand that the comparison doesn't make much sense. As usual, your review is impeccable, passionate, enjoyable, and full of interesting insights. Cheers!

Yes, it's interesting but... well... why do you use the Austrian painter as an example in your argument? I don't really see the necessity. It seems inappropriate since his name evokes more other things than being teetotalers or vegetarians... it doesn't really seem like a great example... I would have understood Linda McCartney better in this context. Anyway, the proposal seems interesting.

The version of Little Wing on this album is something splendid.

this phrase is legendary "from the tenuous boundaries still present between jazz, fusion, and heavy rock to the goodness of cod stew with potatoes" :)

@ psycho: so it seems that the conflicts are more personal in nature rather than related to differing musical concepts (which sometimes intertwine), thanks for the clarification, now this passage is perhaps clearer to me; @ jim give or take, psycho's proposal is (as always) original, interesting, enjoyable, but that was implied. This time - as a loyal reader - I found the review less effective than usual, subtlety ;)) Hello

After reading the review, I took a look at his website and it seemed interesting. It’s a real shame he hasn't made an album yet, because the description you provided is very intriguing, especially the one with Natalie Merchant. Let’s wait for it.

An interesting proposal, although very distant from my usual knowledge and listening habits. But more than the record, I found the initial discussion about conflict, understood as an opportunity and a path to change, intriguing. It reminded me of some old readings by Carl Smith and also other things about the formative value of conflict (provided it can be managed)... I'm curious about the theme in relation to music. However, in this case, I'm not entirely clear on what these dynamics have been at play. Bye

Inti Illimani Viva Chile!

It’s true that Inti Illimani are not just "El Pueblo Unido," but it’s equally true that they are now so tied in the collective imagination (indeed, in a certain political imagination often made of externalities) to that piece that they will never shake it off. At a concert a few years ago, they had to perform El pueblo almost out of obligation after numerous requests from the audience, but honestly, I got the impression that they felt nothing while doing it. It was as if they were poorly acting out a role. Times change, the plaza calms down... For the record, I don’t understand what the relevance is of the fact that Sorrisi e Canzoni sold this album as an attachment in the name of consistency (at least that’s how it seems to me). Often musicians do not directly control these operations. I don’t know...
