Try not to take the critics too seriously. I never do. They always gave Miles Davis harsh reviews but Miles to me is the epitomy of jazz trumpet. And pandering to critics can turn you into Kenny G. I remember listening to this jazz flute player with a drummer I was working with and he said, "I wish my drums sounded like that." And no kidding my exact thoughts were that they sounded plastic. Like he was hitting tupperwear bowls. Maybe some people like that sound. Maybe Metheny likes it. Maybe his tone sounded different in a different room. Did they spend the whole tour playing in opera theaters? Probably not.
