Instead of the trio versions with Dave Holland and Roy Haynes, Question And Answer and Trio > Live with Larry Grenadier and Bill Stewart, this was a quartet (with Vibraphone). Another great version of a great song with the common denominator being Pat’s wailing Roland GR300 solo. I need to listen to the Like Minds version next. I was sure Q & A was on another one of Pat’s recordings, but I can’t find it. All three versions that I’ve heard so far are excellent and different.

MarcNebo Jul 01 2022 at 2:28 PM	Revised post ; Favorite version is Quartet Live (Burton, Metheny, Swallow, Sanchez) close second Trio > Live third Question And Answer (Holland, Haynes) and last Like Minds.

Excellent playing by all three musicians. I then listened to the Like Minds version (Gary Burton, Pat, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Roy Haynes). I thought that version was too short and too many musicians. N o extended solos or Pat’s wailing Roland 300 guitar. My favorite is probably Trio > Live with Quartet Live next. Third is Holland and Haynes version.

Antoñete Jun 30 2022 at 1:57 PM	Hi Marc, here you can find all official releases os Question and Answer. It seems like there is no other Pat release. https://secondhandsongs.com/work/171445/all
