Read in a Penguin Guide that Pat and Donald are the principle soloists on this date . Yes and No . Pat's on six of the eight songs here . After the first four songs (several being Pat's compositions) things start to change up a fair bit . David Kikowski (piano) has taken some brief but fine solos on several occasions . Mr. Harrison sits out song five creating a quartet . David and bassist Chris McBride begin to stretch out more . This persists as Pat sits out song six , thus creating a different quartet in which both men (David and Chris) get to stretch out some more . Pat returns for the next to last song . The final track is another quartet sans Metheny . Throughout , the interplay is fantastic and very uplifting . Roy is one of those gentlemen , similar to Billy Higgins , who really keeps the music bubbling along . He's also a great colorist and master at shading the proceedings . Listening on a great car stereo today and on headphones plugged into my computer (now) has me in awe of how great these guys sound together . Strongly recommended . Brilliant players all .
Te Vou, was a CD that was far better than I had expected, I really like Roy Haynes but he out did himself on this one. I'm also an avid Pat Metheny fan and his collaboration with Roy Haynes was a masterpiece. I would recommend this CD to any jazz lover.
