I just assumed Pat Metheny's work would be the same style wise. The Way Up covers are nice. I'll have to look into that one for a future post, thanks.

I love the art for his album "The Way Up," which features Tana Hoban-esque close-ups of various poles, lampposts, telephone poles, and other cylindrical objects.
