Pat Metheny live is far more enjoyable than on LP, even when he
plays with Mays. I have never heard a Mays composition that I or anyone
of my friends likes, and I have never heard him play an interesting
solo. Seeing as how I enjoy almost everything Metheny has done
without Mays, and almost nothing he has done with Mays, I have to
conclude that Mays is the problem.
