Jazz! Oh ya,…..Jazz baby! The Pat Metheny Group fashions their first live album in 1983, “Travels”. Following the success of “Offramp” and in support of it on an obvious creative high, the music is recorded live from all over the U.S. The best of the best live performances are craftily arranged encompassing some the most beautiful glistening and textured sounds that the human ear is even capable of processing! In 2005 an archivist in the Library of Congress finds an audio tape reel that dates back to 1957 with none other than The Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane recordings on it. Yes, you just read that! As it turns out this collection of music is arguable one of the finest recordings featuring both these jazz greats, with Monks buoyant playing and Coltrane’s evolving confidence, Live at Carnegie Hall proves to be a real gem!  Speaking of glistening gems, two Ace Hill pilsners please.
