Composer and saxophonist Matthew Evan Taylor releases the third installment of his Metropolis Ensemble-commissioned five-part series The Unheard Mixtapes on November 24 on New Amsterdam Records. Mixtape 3 of 5, as the title Chamber Music implies, offers Taylor’s most direct connection to Western classical music, with two passacaglias and two noctures anchoring the album. However, as Ashleigh Gordon says in her notes, the music “lies in a space that transcends Western classical music; drawing upon the visual, physical, and spiritual worlds in a richly unique tapestry of color, movement, time and space.”
