1982 - PAT METHENY GROUP, "ARE YOU GOING WITH ME?" (9 mins)
I gotta admit, I don't understand this tune. :) I love the opening rhythm and harmonics. But I don't understand why Metheny and keyboard player Lyle Mayes chose to overlay it partway through with bits that I consider to be strident. I don't get it. :)
However - this is considered Metheny's signature tune, often or almost always included in the group's public performances, and very much loved by many.
'Tuber Jazz Fusionner commented: "This classic chart transports.....seen live, no words ever suffice."

I love to close my eyes and just listen....this song has an indescribable quality that just transports you to another place. I also love to play this song over and over when I'm doing highway driving. Simply put, it's a masterpiece of contemporary jazz!!! "
So...from their 1982 third album, "Offramp", here's the Pat Metheny Group wiith "Are You Going With Me?"
