This is pretty straight for Metheny, that's because it's not Metheny. Took 
me a while to wake up to the fact that there was no guitar on there.
The more I listened, the more I like the music, but the harmonica playing 
does not stand out. Don't think Grégoire was too inspired in some places. I 
think you have to be in a weird mode to play over that kind of stuff and 
make it fit. I'm not sure Maret is that kind of player. Still he wasn't bad 
but perhaps a bit too conventional.

I'm not a huge fan of Metheny but there wer some cool poly rhythms.
ie 6/8 over 4/4.

As far as Gregoire Maret is concerned, I his playing on that album
lacked personality. But the french has said the same about me so what
do I know ;-p

I just received Dapp Theory's latest today and I will definitely
review it. As for Pat Metheny's The Way Up, I have reviewed it

already

on http://harmonica.typepad.com. Gregoire's playing on it is fine,

although I wouldn't get the album just for that.

 Didn't care for the material. Seemed a little too "beatnicky" for

my

tastes.
