This is a rare live recording of Pat Metheny's solo project, featuring his orchestrion, with guest appearance by Homero Lubambo. The high-quality audience recording has been remastered, not only improving the sound quality but also neatly removing the jarring whistling between songs. Metheny showcases his mastery with acoustic guitar, his trademark 42-string "Picasso" guitar, and the orchestrion—the highlight of the project. Homero joins midway through, delivering a pleasant bossa nova-style guitar performance. While Metheny has numerous live recordings, this is a rather rare find and a highly recommended listen.
