Great Music - Round 2: 2010-2014 (Group 14 of 16)

[mae]

During the second round of The Great Music Tournament, please vote for up to three tracks you would like to move onto the next round. The top three tracks will be moving on. Keep in mind that the percentage of the vote a given track receives will determine its standing going forward.

IMPORTANT! Please do not simply vote on name recognition (or lack thereof) alone. Please do listen to each nomination and then make your choice. Even if you think you know a track well, it's still worth giving it a listen for a refresher.

The poll will run for seven days. Discussion is greatly encouraged!

The nominees are (please let me know if any video doesn't play for you):

I was really surprised that Pat Metheny made it this far at all, we have so few jazz tracks in the tournament... If you guys do know him, check out my earlier nominations of his from the '70s and '80s, and there's obviously a ton more on YouTube. Guy's a legend.

Yes.. a classy tune with talent, work and skill.
