Thanks for posting this.  Can you tell I've been away for a while, replying to four-month-old posts?  Anyhoo...

Wakeman's always a blast to listen to, and it's fun to read interviews in which he's taking down his fellow Yessers for being too arty and precious.  Never mind his own ponderous contributions to the prog canon! 


Alas, the great keyboardists of that era, like so many others, are dying off.  It broke my heart when Keith Emerson arranged his own exit.  I struggle with The Depresh myself, and it is always sobering when one of our prominent figures succumbs to it so utterly.
 
I only recently discovered Dave Holland's 21st Century ensembles, specifically the quartets or quintets with Chris Potter on sax. Very rewarding, great players and inventive compositions.

I see your Dave Holland and raise you a Jorge Roeder.  I've seen him perform several times with the Julian Lage trio, and it's a joy every time.

Really digging the swinging intro.  DeJohnette is a monster. And of Metheny's skills are such that I really dig this arrangement despite my really not liking his favorite Roland guitar synth sound.
 
goodness, Frisell's face while Lage folds, spindles, and mutilates the intro... as one of my Army buddies from Alabama used to put it, "He was grinnin' like a mule eatin' briars."
