Leonard Grigoryan is the brother of Slava with whom he has recorde several cds. Slava toured and recorded with Ralph Twoner and Wolfgang Muthspiel on From a Dream. FGHR’s two cds Stationary and Going Home sound very much like PMG. eg. Red red road starts like (Cross the) Heartland. Piano sounds very mch like Lyle Mays and Grigoryan has a real metheny feeling. Cds are hard to obtain but you can watch two videos on youtube, one of them shows the group performing a song called Hornsby. I think this is not a reference to Bruce Hornsby but to an Australian location. I like them very much!

Tom Rudd Mar 15 2012 at 9:39 AM	Me to Jazziz, I would love to see a all new music PMG Quartet release. Pat, Lyle Steve and Antonio. Back to their roots just like the white album.

hman01 Mar 13 2012 at 7:47 PM	I found them on Itunes.

(But granted that you like Lyle mays it is a pleasure to listen to FGHR) Unforuntantely the cds are hard and quite expensive to obtain. I ordered them here in Germany via an internet store ppc.de and the ds cost more than average. They are not on slae at cdnow, cdbaby or cdunverse, let alone amazon. The cd with Towner Muthspiel and Grigoryan is available in standard shops.
Tom Rudd Mar 13 2012 at 5:44 AM	Heard more on their web site. You can listen to full tunes from both their albums. There is one song that is very similar to "Across the Heartland" It’s written well and sounds very nice. The only thing is, it sounds so much like PMG that you kind of say to yourself, why am I listening to this when I can be listening to the real thing. Obviously a talented group of musicians. Pat does not tour Downunder very often maybe this is their way of getting their Metheny fix.
mario toni Mar 13 2012 at 3:27 AM	Yeah, they sound pretty good! There is an order link on there site. But cd are very expensive!
Tom Rudd Mar 12 2012 at 12:57 PM	Very Nice !! Just listened to Hornsby. Do you have a link as to where I can obtain their CD’s? They have none on CD Now. They sound passionate and wonderful.
