I read a Pat Metheny interview a couple of years ago
in which Pat Metheny mentioned several times that he considers himself
to be "the Jerry Garcia of jazz" and that his band is "the Grateful Dead
of jazz." He never mentioned Yes. 

I'm not sure exactly what he means by this, because I don't see
much similarity between him and the Dead, except for the drums/space jams
that constitutes about 10% of a Dead concert. 

Anyone else?
