Re: Frisell -> essential loop recordings



Bill Frisell/Kermit Driscoll/Joey Baron - Live

Bill Frisell is one of those musicians that are so good that they make it 
look easy.  He never plays any blazing runs, but he has such control of 
the 
guitar, musicality and beautiful tone, that you can't help but be 
impressed.  And the more you listen, the more you are impressed.

This extends to his looping, which is so seamless and natural you 
sometimes 
don't even notice it.  Sounds will mysteriously pop out of nowhere in the 
middle of a solo, to the point that many would assume they are overdubbed.

While most Frisell recordings have plenty of examples of his looping, this 
live set, generally considered to be one of his best recordings (and a 
great example of the incredible, almost telepathic, interplay between 
these 
three fabulous musicians), leaves you in no doubt as to where those 
ambient 
sounds in the background are coming from.
