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? __ "We used to play for silver, now we play for life..." Seth Jackson dec-curium!jackson
