Gary Burton - Passengers

Pat Metheny alert! This is one of the first albums to feature Pat Metheny. The group even plays his song "Midwestern Nights Dream," Although on this album it is called B and G. Eberhard Weber is also prominently featured. A very melodic bass player. I believe he plays an upright plugged in with effects pedals. He gets some weird "phaser" like sounds especially on the opener "Sea Journey."

I've always thought that "Claude and Betty" is PRIME sampling material. If I was a hip hop producer, that opening would be the first thing I would sample.
