"Epic!" exclaimed SanDiego.com in its review of last week's show in that city. "If you’ve heard his latest CD, Orchestrion, you know that he achieves a remarkably warm, human sound with this ensemble," writes reviewer Christian Hertzog, with "works with well-shaped build-ups to wonderfully timed climaxes, lush, scale-based harmonies, and memorable melodies, all of which showcase his effortless technique and his convincing improvisations."
Of the live experience, Hertzog concludes: "I am not likely to forget the sight and sound of Metheny and his orchestrion, and I doubt my fellow audience members will either. If you have the opportunity to catch this tour, scrape up the money and buy yourself a ticket. You will not regret the experience."
