[@marcelofbonelli]

I recomend you the best version "are you going with me?" 1992 tokio festival jazz, Pedro Aznar the best vocalist ever on this song. Jopek good but totally not for this song particulary.

[@george00719]

the synth axe and that stripe top is a Metheny signature awlays remember that look

[@durtyragoux]

@Marcelo Bonelli, Jopek was fantastic. Aznar's vocal treatment has always been more restrained and instrumental. Absolutely beautiful, but totally different from Anna's performance. Funny enough, I feel that the second half of this rendition fell to shait when Pat began his solo, I thought it was disharmonious with the piece up to that point. Also, I looked up the Tokyo recording, and found it too abstracted, especially in the keyboard solos as well as Metheny's, and Aznar's vocals were drowned out. There are far better live examples with Aznar performing this song. It's fine to have your opinion, but to dismiss Jopek's performance for not sounding more like Pedro's is ridiculous.

The first time I heard this amazing music was the 12th of February. 1989. I got the album "Travels" for my 30th birthday by Grete Pedersen (today conductor of the Norwegian Soloist choir). A late August night, 6 months later, alone at home, I moved my speakers and my best chair into the garden. In the middle of the night, moonlight, silhouettes of big pines against the sky, the grasshoppers played in the neighbor's bush. I played "Farmer's Trust" over and over again. Path Metheny; - Thank you, - You gave me an everlasting experience ....

[@waynehays2558]

Yes he is "from Earth" but like a number of the truly most amazing guitarist's whom I admire he 1) came from a musical family where a parent(s) is a musician and they began teaching him how to read and write at a very early age. Pat began when he was in about 3rd grade with music AND TOOK IT SERIOUSLY. That's how they get the head start on everyone else. Pat's older brother was a trumpet player. 2) Beyond that they learn their theory and during their formative years they study and play incessantly. Pat also says he was lucky that their where A LOT of excellent OLDER than him jazz musician's in his local area who let him sit in on guitar at their gigs and simultaneously they taught him the ropes at an unusually young age. That's how by the time he got to Berkeley School of Music he say's he was a student for maybe 1 semester and then they offered him an instructor job. Put all that together with a strong passion for music and the resulting playing may indeed sound "other worldly" but no as usual it's the result of hard work, study, and lots-o-practice.
