GA Russell Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Bill Frisell: guitar | Thomas Morgan: double bass “It's in the more naked, completely vulnerable environs of the duo—where the need for musical trust is, perhaps, at its most crucial—that the profound chemistry shared by these two thoroughly synchronized players becomes even clearer…Frisell proves that it's possible to bring together original music, country music, jazz standards and more in an unfettered duet setting. At the end of the day, categories matters not; genres matter not; sources matter not… (He) has released an album that brings so many of his personal touchstones together while, at the same time, bringing its diverse program together into a unified whole… With Small Town, Frisell has clearly found another ideal musical foil to add to his growing cadre of musicians with whom he collaborates on a regular basis. Intimate, beautiful and deep, while at the same time knotty, witty and curiously skewed, Small Town delivers, in many ways, on the promise of In Line's five duo tracks 35 years on, with a live set that proves great music isn't just where you find it; it's everywhere.” -John Kelman, Allaboutjazz.com, 4 ½ stars TOUR DATES June 23 - Ottawa, ON @ Ottawa Jazz Festival June 24 - Toronto, ON @ Toronto Jazz Festival June 25 – Rochester, NY @ Rochester Jazz Festival June 27 - New Haven, CT @ Firehouse 12 June 28 - Pawling, NY @ Darryl’s Place June 29 - Bay Shore, NY @ Boulton Center for the Performing Arts June 30 - Brooklyn, NY @ Roulette July 1 - Evanston, IL @ SPACE July 2 - Montreal, PQ @ Montreal Jazz Festival © 2017 ECM | ECM Records USA | 1755 Broadway, 3rd floor | New York NY 10011 Edited November 25, 2017 by GA Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
