It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Evolution, Taste, and Logic

I'm a BIG lover of Evans. I like some of Mehldau's stuff quite a bit, and have never "warmed" to Metheny's music particularly.

Having said that, I just wanted to add that I think the following lacks logic: that Metheny is essentially saying that Evans (or Chopin) is an evolutionary footnote does not follow from his saying he doesn't care for Evans' music (and, of course, maybe he doesn't care for Chopin's either). One has to do with to do with history, evolution, influence, development, impact, etc. The other is simply about personal taste.

Interesting to me, too, that the fellow called these guys "ego maniacal", but signed his letter "Respectfully..."
