I saw Jaco and Metheny touring with Joni Mitchell in th early 80’s. Saw DeMeola in a local bar/nightclub around the same time. jean Luc Ponty is still touring and is unbelievably good.
I see Metheny is touring as well and hope to see him in the Spring. These folks are unbelievable musicians. II recently caught Steve Morse reunited with Dixie Dregs, These guys make the crrent crop of pretenders look silly.
Paco died a year or two ago, but whatever happened to John McLaughlin?
