Anyone who is familar with the Pat Metheny Group will recognize the groups keyboardnista and co-arranger/co-composer of its early, more experimental sound. Street Dreams is one of Mays solo projects that features his wide range of musical interests from the neo-big band horns of its first track, Feet First, and Possible Strait–where's the martinis at?–to the ethereal strains like Newborn, a one-minute and thirty-five second composition. It is the sophisticated, yet spacious harmonics of Mays that have always pulled the Pat Metheny Group out of the jazz-fusion mode and towards a modern electronic, sonic weave so many of the PMT groupies have come to obsess about. The gold on this album is the sampling and arranging inventiveness of its title track or one might say tracks. Street Dreams presents movements of something akin to jazz tone poems very reminiscent of Pat Metheny Group's As Falls Wichita,so Falls Wichita Falls.
