I suspect hes a bit like Torn right? I have to admit that watching
David Torn in one of these hundreds of New Jazz trios with his (oh so
experimental) feedback, also does NOTHING for me... however, I have
heard LOTS of Torn that puts him into a very interesting place..
Splattercell for example... I hope Frissel is the same...
Bill Frisell is such an eclectic artist, Mark, that it is virtually
impossible to
judge him based on a single recording.
He tours through Santa Cruz a lot and I see him every chance I get (3 or
4 times already and
missed as many).
He always has a different group........sometimes he plays really roots
Americana......
sometimes he's more experimental , live looping, sometimes he does
jazz things,
sometimes he's funky.
I actually think of him as one of the top most important jazz musicians
in the US right now
(another favorite is Brian Blade).
But he's very eclectic. I've even seen shows where the style of music
he's mining
is not particularly resonant with me, aesthetically........he tends to
like country a lot more
than I do.
But he's really amazing in concert and I've never seen him do the same
thing twice.
A deep, deep, deep musician, imho.
yours, Rick
