Aww, as a Dad I love that Pat Metheny song! The melody and song arc are unbeatable. Although my history goes back a bit. I remember my introduction to that song and watching the video on MTV in the late 80s. And then I played it a few times on my radio show at college in the more ambient portions of my show. I loved the lead line, it reminded me of the legato David Gilmour sound, and overall pointed to what I wanted out of electronic music at that point with the quick 16th note brushes and pulsy bassline, a little bit of an odd perspective I think.
Just getting to these Timeless Jazz Jams today -- truly Enjoyable picks, as usual. I now have a soundtrack for the rest of my week (including downtime with the kids!)

It really is a special tune! Thanks so much for sharing this!
