Pat Metheny on his incredible double live album "Travels", by ECM Records 1983.

This album seems to be still rockin´ when methenyists all the the world are asked which album is the best. With me it comes in on top.

My favourite song, like with most methenyists, is still: Are You Going With Me, where we all love it, when Pat change to the guitar synthesizer.

The musicians:

Pat Metheny - guitars, guitar synthesizer
Lyle Mays - synthesizers, piano, organ, autoharp, synclavier
Steve Rodby - el. bass, double bass, bass synthesizer
Dan Gottlieb - drums
Nana Vasconcelos - percussion, berimbau, voice

Off topic:

Of course your right, that´s why I originally and mostly enter the entire album no matter who made it, because as we both know, it´s so darn difficult to choose between individual songs.

Okay guys - Let´s have a threesome:

Ella Fitzgerald on her double celebration album "75th Birthday Celebration", recorded in N.Y.C. 1938-1955, released by GRP/MCA Records.

On the album Ella Fitzgerald sings with The Louis Armstrong Band - Benny Carter and his Orchestra - Chick Webb and his Orchestra - Sy Oliver - The Ink Spots - Vic Shoen and his Orchestra - Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five.

One of my all time favourites with this beautiful black lady of jazz music is "Basin Street Blues".
