Must read article for Pat Metheny fans!

Today's NY Times has a great article on Pat Metheny. But, rather than focus on his music, the interviewer asked Metheny to bring in samples of music that affected him. So, he brought some tracks into a studio and the interview was done while the music was playing. Some great insights into what makes Pat tick musically, but also some great stuff about other artists like Sonny Rollins, Wes Montgomery, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Here's the link to the article and the CDs that played during the interview.
