Tap: John Zorn’s Book of Angels, Vol. 20

Pat Metheny

A high-octane collision of Zorn's avant-garde Jewish scales and Metheny's lush guitar orchestration. Intense, virtuosic, and surprisingly heavy.

A restless, high-velocity exploration of ancient melodies through a futuristic, mechanical lens.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, multi-layered guitar entrance on Mastema that signals a departure from Metheny's usual pastoral calm.
The sprawling, eleven-minute journey of Sariel where the orchestrion creates a haunting, clockwork backdrop for a searing solo.
The way the melodic lines in Albim twist with a Middle Eastern inflection before dissolving into a dense thicket of percussion.
