I picked up the album this weekend.  It's called "Robben Ford and
The Blue Line".  I found it to be quite good!  It has a
sort of "sophisticated blues feel" to it; it sticks mainly
to blues-based progressions but you can tell the man has
listened to and played lots of fusion.  I'd certainly
recommend it.  Also he's worth seeing live (I got the wonderful
privilege of seeing a guitar duel between Robben and Albert
Collins at the North Sea Jazz Festival - awesome.)

   I still do *not* understand why a fan of music very late in the 20th

I don't understand this either, which is exactly why I don't
understand the emotional outcry that this simple proposal has
generated in some readers (not, let me say explicitly, Sandeep). It's
as if some readers think that separating the newsgroups will somehow
rob jazz of its soul, or something such. A very peculiar belief, if
you ask me.  Categories are just organizational aids, nothing more
(and nothing less). If they facilitate discussion, they're useful.



   If all this doesn't convince you, here -- off the top of my head :)

I *hope* you're not suggesting in any way, shape or form that those of
us who disagree with you on this subject are people who need to "do
their homework". You know better than most other people on the Net
that I enjoy the music of the majority of the folks you listed. Is
most of this "blues", in the sense that word has when one says "this
is a jazz and blues newsgroup"?  Hate to disagree with you, but I
don't see how you can say it is. "Blues" as a category may be
arbitrary, but it's not meaningless. Its usage is well-established,
and the fact of the matter is, lots of jazz doesn't fit that usage.

Thanks for the info that JMT is playing Zurich on Oct 14.  They won't be 
playing L.A any sooner, I'm sure.  

As for prices:  previous years when McLaughlin has played L.A.
it's been in L.A.-style "dinner/dance" clubs, who charge about
$20 without dinner (read standing) and $35 with.  Of course there's
the distraction of food/drinks served during the concert - so I'm not
surprised that they don't come here that often.  How are the venues else
where (in Europe, for example) for this kind of music?

Also, does anybody know of a mailing list for JMT ?

Subject: Secret Story Tour in Denver (Review)

Hello Metheny Fans!

    I saw the "Secret Story" tour's stop in Denver last night. Great
show!

    They performed mostly music from "Secret Story", with some older
PMG songs thrown in as well. As Pat himself explained, much of the music
was originally written for much larger ensembles, so he had to compile a
band of extremely versatile musicians to pull it off live. Well, he
succeeded.

    The lineup sent earlier on the mailing list is pretty much correct,
but with a couple of omissions: a 'second' keyboard player, Jim Beard, and
Mark Ledford (he should be familiar from past PMG albums and tours).

For completeness, here is the lineup:

                Pat Metheny : Guitars
          Torsten de Winkel : Guitars
              Gil Goldstein : Keyboards
                  Jim Beard : Keyboards
                Steve Rodby : Bass
               Paul Wertico : Drums
             Armando Marcal : Percussion
             David Blamires : Vocals, percussion, horns, you-name-it
               Mark Ledford : Vocals, percussion, horns, you-name-it

    Blamires and Ledford were amazing, covering vocals, various percussion,
trumpet and trombone (even solos!), anything you can think of. And all very
well.

    No, they did not have a live orchestra to fill in the string parts, but
heavy use was made of string synthesizers in places, and that worked better
than I would have expected.

    My memory is not good enough to give a list of all the numbers they
played, or the exact order, but included were:

Among The Treetops
Facing West
Rain River
Finding and Believing
Are You Going With Me?
Third Wind   (featuring a blazing Wertico/Marcal percussion break)
[song without a name because it was only written 3 weeks ago]
Cathedral In A Suitcase
Always and Forever
Antonia      (featuring Gil Goldstein playing an actual accordion)
See The World
Last Train Home
The Truth Will Always Be
Tell Her You Saw Me
Minuano
Song For Bilbao (encore)


    They played for over two hours straight, without letting up. If this
group comes anywhere near you, don't miss it!

Earlier this evening, I saw the Wynton and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra
and I highly recommend seeing this band if you have the slightest interest in
Ellington.  The intensity of the performance was unbelievable and during
a masterful solo by Todd Williams (tenor) the crowd spontaneously roared
in unison as he crescendoed.  Wynton and Wycliffe Gordon also delivered
stunning solos but the real highlight is the band -- Wynton is just a member,
not the leader.  The interaction between each of the players was audible
from the cheap seats as they chearde and encouraged each other.  The love of the
music was very apparent.  Milt Grayson also added his unusual vocal style to
the mix and the spotlight was shared by each of the 17 members of the band.

This was one of the best shows that I've ever seen.  SEE THIS BAND!
