Thanks for the lead, Putty.

I am on a MAJOR Frisell kick these days. He's simply amazing. For you other Frisellians, there's a new double album release for an Octet! It's called History, Mystery

Check it out at http://www.billfrisell.com.

I don't know much Frisell, but I saw him on his most recent tour back in March at the Flynn Theatre in Burlington and absolutely loved it. first time in my life that I've heard something that reminds me of Alivelectric.

Speaking of, what Frisell album would anyone recommend that sort of has that sound? I know the band has talked about being influenced by Frisell around that period, could anyone point me in that direction?

Get yourself a copy of Going Back Home by the Ginger Baker Trio (Baker on drums, Frisell being God, and Charlie Haden on stand up). Do it NOW. Really. BAM told me that trio is a DIRECT influence on the way they sounded in the Slip "jazz" era. Actually, I think the quote was something like "They're the REASON we sounded the way we did." There are a couple of videos on YouTube you can check out for a taste. Search on Frisell.

GBT's second disc is called "Falling Off The Roof" (I think.) I don't own it yet but I know it's out there.

Ther are lots of other great Frisell trio discs.

"Bill Frisell with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones" (yeah, that's the title) is fantastic. No, I'm sorry; it's FANTASTIC.

"East/West" is a double live disc of work with his two most "common" trios of recent years: Kenny Wolleson on drums with either Viktor Krauss or Tony Scherr on bass. I love this one to death. There's a "sequel" to it that you can download from his site. (www.billfrisell.com)

As you can tell, I think pretty highly of Mr. Frisell. He works in many different settings and his work is uniformly great. And he seems to be a great human being as well. Open, gentle, humble, funny, and generous as a musician (watching him interact with other players is really a joy.)

Happy listening Tyler! Let us know what you think.

no love for motherfucking NAKED CITY?

one of John Zorn's best ensembles featuring Bill Frisell (playing spaghetti western, tv theme songs, thrash, surf rock, and jazz none the less)

Why do you assume that?

Given the request, I was focusing on trio stuff that has a direct relation to AliveElectric era Slip.

Naked City is indeed a motherfucker. Just not sure it's the right motherfucker for this situation.

relax, it was a rhetorical question intended to merely introduce naked city into the conversation as a foil to the majority frissell's discog.

No worries.

I'm relaxed.

Sometimes I forget that it's so much easier these days to try before you buy.

Back in the days before these newfangled interwebs we would take pains to explain to folks the differences in releases when suggesting first forays into a new artist's work.

Nowadays, of course, samples are always just a click away but old habits are sometimes hard to break.

i highly recommend gone just like a train. it is one of my favorite records ever!

I am admittedly not an expert on the full frisell catalogue but i love what i've heard, ESPECIALLY Gone Just Like a Train. Blues for Los Angeles. Whoo!

I'm digging his new album, History, Mystery a lot. I had the opportunity to interview him two weeks ago, if interested:
