John Scofield & Pat Metheny: I Can See Your House

JOHN SCOFIELD PAT METHENY

Guitar giants John Scofield and Pat Metheny joined forces for the first time when recording this CD. The collaboration takes a while to get going, and it's not until the fourth cut, the bluesy "Everybody's Party", that the sparks start to fly; fortunately, the momentum doesn't slacken much as the CD progresses. All pieces (including two blues pieces) are originals by one of the two guitarists, and with the accompaniment of bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Bill Stewart, this varied set meets all expectations. Joe Harley is co-founder and co-producer of the renowned American vinyl label MUSIC MATTERS. His extraordinary feeling for the sound aesthetics of the LP format earned him the title "Tone Poet". On the occasion of his 80th label anniversary, Blue Note Records commissioned the "Tone Poet" to put together some albums for an exclusive LP edition. These purely analogue, i.e. without any digital intermediate steps, re-mastered from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) and pressed onto 180g vinyl by Record Technology Incorporated (RTI). The original covers are facsimiled as heavy laminated gatefold sleeves. A sleeve production method is used, the name of which should only mean something to LP gourmets: Tip-on-Sleeve. As in the days of the heavy, stable cardboard covers of the fifties and sixties, a stable cardboard base is combined with a glossy laminated surface.
