I expected this kind of polarized response when Metheny and Melhdau got together, but it is a pairing I had been hoping for and was excited when I first heard about it.I saw them perform early in their tour (second or third performance) in Denver and I was very impressed. I already had the duo CD and bought the quartet release the next day. I agree there was some "tension" but it seemed to me to be due to the fact that it was early in the tour and they were still getting their legs.
I agree about Ballard. It was the fist time I had seen him play and he was very impressive. I was also very impressed with Larry Grenadier on bass. I have seen him a few times (including last summer with John Scofield and Bill Stewart) and this performance was as good as any I've seen.
Yes, "Everyone Digs Bill Evans" including Metheny and Melhdau. But they are staking out new territory, and naturally want their music to be evaluated on its own merit.
