Watercolors

"Metheny's compositions are perfect vehicles for his guitar, which blends smoothly with the breathtaking ensemble work," declared an early review of this album, the first of which featured Lyle Mays. "You can hear them reaching toward the sound that would burst forth a year later on the Pat Metheny Group album", Down Beat would later note. And with Danny Gottlieb on drums, three quarters of the Metheny Group is present here. The personnel of Watercolors is completed by Eberhard Weber.
