Pure genius. He took something old and reliable as the Guaguanco and re-worked it for moden jazz using tuned instruments instead of drums. "Every instrument is also a drum", John Coltrane
it had to be the mushrooms...No. Just kidding. I so love the sincerity. It just is without sounding like its trying to Prove that it is..like treesand cats and squirrels and even, real people.
Please never let this man be unable to write the beautiful ballads that ooze from his fingertips in harmonious glory. He is a genius and his talent is never ending. Thank you for posting this beautiful and memorable song. A favorite.
"Those musicians". Hmmm... I don't think I should have to introduce a musician/drummer as prolific as Bill Stewart.
As for Larry Grenadier, he's one of my favorite players today, along w/ guys like Drew Gress and Ben Allison. Check out the stuff he's done w/ Brad Mehldau, or the Fly trio he co-leads w/ Jeff Ballard and Mark Turner. Very happening stuff, let me tell you.
That drummer is awesome.

Man is unprecented!!!
Can appear onstage w/ Jeff Beck, Carlos, and not be diminished.
When reincarnated, It is He I'd like to return as. He 'Gets-it'
As does Mays, Rodenby, Blamires...etc!

Yeah completely. But I still prefer the sound of Paul Wertico... Especially this song. He constantly fits in with Metheny's sound perfectly.
