Artist: Bill Frisell
Title Of Album: Gone, Just Like a Trai
Year Of Release: 1998
Label:
Genre: Blues
Notes:
A chance to hear Bill Frisell showing another side of his Western influences and to hear drummer Jim Keltner and bassist Viktor Krauss show a looser, jazzier, more improvised side of their abilities. Music fans know that their favorite players have range and abilities that often go undisplayed, as musicians can frequently get pigeonholed into doing what first made them popular. This record is doubly gratifiying for that reason.
All these players are opening themselves up to each other and the listener in a unique way. Frisell plays lots of acoustic guitar here, and he's not exclusively using the language of the postmodern, effects-heavy jazz we love him for. We're seeing the pacing and form of his compositions in a less twisted sonic setting. Frisell also collaborated with artist Jim Woodring on the unique and evocative artwork for this CD, representing "things that are hidden, buried - things you can only see in dreams."
