from Letter From Home.

A steady beat and changes filled with color precede Lyle's haunting "harmonica-synth" melody. A descending (or ascending) four-note chromatic insert is a typical Metheny trick to add richness to the harmonies.

Pat takes the first solo, then Mays on piano.

The tune ends on a soft magical transition from FMaj9 to F#m9.
