Excerpt

Pat Metheny's new album, Orchestrion, is out now. In a review on the ABC News site, the Associated Press says the latest project from this "inveterate tinkerer who constantly imagines new soundscapes" finds Metheny taking "the notion of a solo album to a new dimension through some technological wizardry."

Copy

Today is release day for Orchestrion, the new Nonesuch album from Pat Metheny that All About Jazz has called "one of his most innovative and compositionally profound albums" yet. You can pick up a copy of the album in the Nonesuch Store along with a limited-edition print of the cover signed by Pat. The vinyl version of the album is due to follow in early March. To see the Orchestrion in action, visit nonesuch.com/media.

In a review of Orchestrion published today on the ABC News site, the Associated Press says the latest project from this "inveterate tinkerer who constantly imagines new soundscapes" finds Metheny taking "the notion of a solo album to a new dimension through some technological wizardry." AP writer Charles J. Gans recommends the album opener in particular as "a technical tour-de-force in which Metheny creates a rich soundscape displaying all the colors and dynamic range of his 'Orchestrion.'"
