Slings and Arrows

Pat Metheny

played Guitar / Co-Producer / Synthesizer on this track

I was driving by a major intersection in my town. On the radio was the James Taylor single 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight' with this tenor player on it.

Metheny recalls the moment he first heard Brecker's tenor, on James Taylor's record.

Jack DeJohnette

played Drums on this track

The tours on that were really some fantastic playing from everybody, but just hearing the styles of Dewey and Michael, and (they) both admired each other.

Don Alias

played Percussion on this track

The band with Joni Mitchell, Shadows and Light Band, was really extraordinary. It consisted of Jaco, Pat Metheny, myself, Don Alias and Lyle Mays and Joni, of course.
