Genre: Jazz
Places I remember: Music store in Doha, Qatar
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: With My Boots On
Gear costume: Union Pacific
Active compensatory factors: I bought this because of the personnel (Bill Frissell and Pat Metheny on guitars) and the title - living in Doha was like living in a perennial summer.

Marc Johnson plays bass and he leads this album with some laid back tunes perfect for hot summer days.
It's quite understated and relaxed. Methany's guitar is so distinctive he tends to dominate proceedings without even trying to, but Frissell's playing is also beautiful on this album.
It all eventually gets a bit too slow and mannered towards the end of the album hence the three stars.
Where do they all belong? A worthy addition to the jazz catalogue.
