What the critics are saying about Kin () ‘These pieces are closer to the romantically inclined, soaring melodicism of the Pat Metheny Group, yet retaining the energy of the Unity Band. It’s a craft duality that makes for this album’s appeal from an artist whose musical curiosity remains undiminished.’ Jazzwise * * * * ‘The album takes guitar-led improvisation to new aesthetic, Metheny’s eloquent guitar etching a kaleidoscope of sonic hues.’ Mojo * * * * ‘For guitarists every new Pat Metheny album is a major event, but the shock-haired American has outdone himself with this one.’ Evening Standard * * * * ‘The arrangements and recording are immaculate. In modern jazz terms, a masterclass.’ Q * * * * ‘By adding Guilio Carmassi to his current quartet, Metheny has brought lush colour to a band that gloried in tight, telepathic interplay. For latecomers to Metheny’s wide oeuvre, the Unity Group is a great place to start.’ BBC Music Magazine * * * * ‘A set of twist-and-turn, genre-crossing sagas themed on notions of kin.’ Financial Times * * * * ‘Astonishing. Another envelope-pushing opus from a pathfinding musician whose talent doesn’t recognize boundaries.’ Record Collector * * * * ‘Another winner.’ Hi-Fi News * * * *
