Caught an interview with Mr Metheny about this very subject on the BBC this morning. You can hear it here: <http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/arts/> and click on the WEDNESDAY programme. (Our broadcast here in the US is a day behind...). Also, the Tuesday programme featured an excellent analysis/celebration of John Coltrane's 'Giant Steps' album; it's at the very end, like the last five minutes. -t- http://www.myspace.com/nimbletunes http://cdbaby.com/all/timnelson http://www.youtube.com/speleman62
