Pat Metheny LP: Day Trip/Tokyo Day Trip Live. It's a 3-LP/2-CD behemoth I got on sale for $19.99. It's Metheny in a jazz trio setting, with bass monster Christian McBride and perfect-choice drummer Antonio Sanchez. These three present what one reviewer called a "telepathic virtuosity." The music is great, the musicianship is stunning, and the recording quality does both justice. It's the best jazz trio recording I have now and I'm looking forward to getting to know this music better, because it's stunningly good in every way.
