Pat Metheny's "The Orchestrion Project" Out Now; "Fresh, Elegant, Surprising" (Observer, Four Stars)
Pat Metheny, who won his 20th Grammy Award this week for Unity Band, releases his latest album, The Orchestrion Project, today. Recorded at a church in Brooklyn, the album showcases the full evolution of the Orchestrion as documented at the end of a sprawling world tour. The two-disc set features all five tunes from Metheny's Orchestrion—“a soaring five-movement suite featuring some of the most intricate music he's ever created" (Boston Globe)—plus eight additional Metheny compositions, which he plays on his phalanx of remarkable, custom-made instruments via solenoid switches and pneumatics. Q and Mojo give the album four stars, as does the Observer which calls it "fresh, elegant and surprising."
About this Album
1995 Grammy Award Winner
This disc, noted the New York Times, “borrows sampling-and-rhythm innovations from hip-hop,” garnering a Best Contemporary Jazz Performance Grammy. Keyboardist Lyle Mays says the sessions prompted the most back-and-forth collaborating “since the early days of the group.”
