Cool and rainy day put me in the mood for this one. Gary Burton put together this album with two of his favorite musicians in the world to play with Pat Metheny and Chick Corea. It also has Roy Haynes and Dave Holland on it..and is a great album that I never see mentioned here. For those of you who have never heard this album it is definitely well worth it. Compositions by Pat, Gary, and Chick spread across this album.

I am still bothered by the stereo mix, though, having Chick all out to the left. And Pat deserves a little more volume. But still a very great album !

bluepno Jun 05 2012 at 8:39 PM	Yikes...I listen to this one all the time...to me,Gary and Pat are a match made in the stratosphere.
franksexton Jun 05 2012 at 3:18 PM	don’t know why but this one didn’t click for me. Pat described it as Q&A trio meets CHick/Gary duo. I like the two seperate bands more than the combined effort. In my mind the best cover of the song Q&A was on trio live, then on the album Q&A, then on the Quartet Album , then this one. Maybe I’ll have to give this album a re-do.

I bought this when it came out, listened a few times and that was it. I have to try again, it’s been years since I put this in the CD rack.

I remember the first time I saw it - I was visiting a cousin in NY and we went to the village to some record store that he knew of (just to "browse"). When I saw Like Minds - I remember being really excited, as I have been a big fan of all of the players and to find this CD with them all together, just blew me away! I was of course, not disappointed at all.
