| Picking up where Still Life (Talking) leaves off (instead of throwing us a curve ball like Song X), the equally triumphant Letter from Home stresses Brazilian elements with superb results. While a number of these treasures ? including "Beat 70," "Have You Heard" and "Every Summer Night" ? are light and accessible enough to have enjoyed exposure on some "smooth jazz" stations, Letter contains the type of depth and honesty that's sorely lacking in most "smooth jazz." Metheny has always known the difference between light and lightweight, and even at his most delicate, he avoids entering "muzak" territory. True to form, the improvisor doesn't shy away from making extensive use of technology, but is insightful enough to do so in a very warm and soulful fashion. Like Still Life, Letter from Home is a fine example of a CD that is both a commercial and an artistic success. - Alex Henderson |
