Jake Gotlieb's Banach-Tarski Paradox - Mecca (2023)

The fourth release by Jake Gotlieb is his most ambitious yet. As the title hints at, this album is thought of as a melting pot of different ideas coming together in one center.

Inspired by other composers such as Hermeto Pascoal, Frank Zappa, and Egberto Gismonti as well as classical composers like Pierre Boulez, Elliott Carter, and Bela Bartok, the music on this album synthesizes styles and techniques from European Modern Orchestral music to Brazilian Jazz Fusion to Arabic to Indian to Avant-Garde Progressive Rock to create something new.
