Title: Absolute genius
Review: This is a superb collaboration. Such beautiful, honest, subtle musical story telling. It's the most creatively that Metheny has played in years. Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard are absolute geniuses in their own right. And Brad Mehldau is just on a another plane - he is incredible.The new quartet truly respects each others' styles, yet they don't play as individualists - they truly collaborate and amplify one another's work. The duos between Metheny and Mehldau are like a yin and yang dancing around one another - they just work together. Established structures emerge and then unwind in various directions in a way that just seems to make sense. Hard to put into words. It's sophisticated, beautiful, challenging, and exhilarating.
