Pat Metheny Group Lyle Mays Pat Metheny Lyle Mays/London,UK 1989

The second album after moving to Geffen, the masterpiece “Letter from Home” reached number one on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and even won a Grammy. PMG’s best performance from their heyday, recorded on a high-quality soundboard, is now available! … The stage was amazing, even though most of the songs, including “Have You Heard,” which has been played many times as an important repertoire of PMG, and the album title “Letter from Home,” were performed for the first time in a live performance, and it shows the popularity and high ability of PMG at this time. They put on a wonderful performance worthy of being called the heyday. The songs performed for the first time in a live performance were full of vitality and shone brightly like a newborn baby, and above all, they were very fresh. The members of PMG who performed seemed to be playing with some tension, and they created a long stage with a good balance of new songs and their representative songs. The Pat Metheny Group made great strides in a tumultuous era of change, moving from ECM to Geffen, founding their own production company, and joining the ranks of supergroups through worldwide success. This must-listen album captures a live performance from the height of their power in superb high quality stereo sound!!!
