Pat Metheny’s Recording of John Zorn’s "Tap: The Book of Angels, Vol. 20" Out Now
Pat Metheny’s recording of John Zorn’s Tap: The Book of Angels, Vol. 20 from Zorn’s Masada Book Two is out now, their first collaboration. The New York Times calls it "audacious ... an impressive feat of imagination, and a strikingly clear distillation of both artists’ distinctive languages." The Independent says it's "dazzlingly virtuosic and evocative." All About Jazz calls it "a suite of half a dozen cinematic pieces, some of truly epic proportions ... the work of an artist who is doing anything but resting on his considerable laurels and accomplishments."
About this Album
1993 Grammy Award Winner
The Pat Metheny Group won a Best Contemporary Jazz Performance Grammy in 1993 for this live collection, which Metheny remastered in 2006. It documents a European tour that was, says All That Jazz, “the group's most ambitious to that point.”
