  • Pat Metheny, John Zorn Talk to New York Times About New Album; Featured on BBC Radio 6

    Pat Metheny’s recording of John Zorn’s Tap: The Book of Angels, Vol. 20 from Zorn’s Masada Book Two is out this week. Metheny and Zorn spoke with the New York Times about this, their first collaboration. "An impressive feat of imagination, and a strikingly clear distillation of both artists’ distinctive languages," writes the Times' Nate Chinen, "the album strongly suggests an artistic dialogue." Metheny and Zorn appeared on BBC Radio 6 Music for Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone in the UK, where the album earns four stars from the Daily Telegraph, the Scotsman, the Times, and the Independent, which concludes: "It's all dazzlingly virtuosic and evocative."

    Nonesuch Records and Tzadik simultaneously release guitarist Pat Metheny’s recording of John Zorn’s Tap: The Book of Angels, Vol. 20 from Zorn’s Masada Book Two on May 21, 2013.

About this Album

2003 Grammy Award Winner

Pat Metheny settled into his home studio with a new baritone guitar one November evening in 2001 to experiment with a low "Nashville tuning." The result is this no-overdubs solo set of originals and from-the-heart covers. Downbeat has praised its ”spiritual-like ruminations as well as a relaxed and chiming sense of unadorned, heartfelt beauty.” The CD reissue includes the bonus track "In All We See," written by Metheny.
