Jazz / Modern Creative; Post-Bop; Avant-Garde Jazz
Recorded: Oct 1992, Mastersound, Astoria, New York
As "one of the most promising composers of American music in the current scene" (Stereophile), Bill Frisell reasserts the claim with his latest Elektra Nonesuch release, "This Land". In the context of a talented sextet, Frisell amply demonstrates the full effect of his role as composer with fourteen original tunes. The result is a powerfully rich blend of colorful harmonic textures and delicate group interaction.
"This Land", his fifth recording on Elektra Nonesuch, finds Frisell alongside bandsmen Kermit Driscoll (bass), Joey Baron (drums), Curtis Fowlkes (trombone), and longtime collaborators Don Byron (clarinet) and Billy Drewes (saxophone). This carefully selected unit provides Frisell latitude as a composer and player, evident in the intricate harmonic foundation and inventive guitar work that pervades the recording's ballads, rags and uptempo grooves.
With an established reputation as a virtuosic and versatile guitarist, Bill Frisell is consistently in the top spot in down beat's critics poll. He continues to be one of the most sought-after musicians in contemporary music, having collaborated with Paul Motian, John Zorn and Naked City, Don Byron, Lyle Mays, Marianne Faithful, Hal Wilner and Wayne Horvitz, among many others. However, it is his bandleading and composing skills that have gained Frisell recognition by musicians, critics and listeners.
SPIN Magazine said the following of Bill Frisell: "Besides being a guitar genius--in case you want more - he's turned into a terrific songwriter. Like Monk, Frisell's harmonic and melodic ideas form a succinct, seamless mesh with outer sonic and rhythmic ideas about his ax." It is precisely this careful balance of songwriting and superb musicianship that makes Bill Frisell's "This Land" a remarkable achievement by one of America's most important and dynamic artists.
