Music reviews of Road to You
Music Review: Nice, Elegant Restatement of their repertoire...
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a very nice recording with one really impressive piect that finally has been recorded after hearing it performed in concert for quite a few years, that being "The Half Life of Absolution". That piece alone, for me, is worth the price of the CD. Expansive, edgy, ambient and improvisational. It features the group in a different mode considering that the recordings that immediately preceded it ("Letter From Home", "Still Life (Talking)" and "First Circle") Those recording were more based in world-beat music forms that were mostly latin-based while this, this was something spacey, ambient, edgy, plaintive, improvisational and vital.
The recording starts out with one of the essential Metheny/Mays pieces, "Have You Heard?". The solos and passages are faithful to the original but really no real surprises except for a slightly different feel due to the live environ.
"First Circle" is one of their masterpieces and an album highlight. Again done very true to form. Just beautiful and this one should be left alone because this piece is unique in it's scope, vision and beauty. Lyle takes his solo in excellent form.
"Last Train Home" was actually better than the studio version that was done in "Still Life (Talking)". That feel, that attracted you to this piece in the first place is much more urgent here. Aznar provides a subtle vocal embellishment and you feel the plaintive, wistfulness of the piece. Steve Rodby's bass is essential to this.
"Better Days Ahead" - This version is much better than in "Letter From Home". Paul Wertico's backbeat, Lyle's piano solo and Pat's guitar solos are more expressive and frankly better than in the original. I find myself skipping the original version in "Letter From Home" but listing to this one with much more interest
"Third Wind" - done very nicely with a bit of a different feel since Pedro is a different kind of vocalist than Ledford and Blamires. His tones rounder and so the vocal sections not quite with that edge when he hits that loooonnnnnggggggg note. The group interplay is excellent coming off the break. They really cook.
Very nice live recording.
