Bill Frisell

[Chicago Expat]

I had totally forgotten about the "Deep Dead Blue" live album. I'm not sure why I don't own it. I can't remember offhand if I gave a listen and passed or if it mistakenly was never placed on a to-buy list. I'll have to look into that.

I had hoped the "Painted from Memory" would provide me an entrance into Bacharach's music, but to no avail. Just didn't care for it. Oh well, can't like everyone's music.

Been awhile since I listened to American Blood. I owned it a long time ago, but can barely remember what it sounds like. Must not have clicked, I guess, or I'd remember it better.

That Frisell/Holland/Jones album (which I accidentally attributed to Ron Carter in my earlier post) was terribly disappointing to me. Three great musicians collaborating on some of my favorite Frisell tunes (especially ones off the Quartet album), and it just came out as uninspired and a bit, I don't know if sloppy is the word I'm looking for, maybe more accurate to say they didn't sound like a cohesive unit, unmeshed perhaps. I keep listening to that album once a year every year hoping that eventually my ears pick up on something previously unheard that finally makes it the masterpiece I always expected it to be.

just listened to some of the "Lulus" whilst commuting. nicely adds to the cacophony of the ride.
