My review of Bill Frisell's Live Download Series, #14-17, today at All About Jazz.
Following on the review of the first 13 installments of the guitarist's series of high quality live downloads, culled from shows dating back to 1989 and, with one of next four installments covered here, right into 2012, it's been a treasure trove for fans unable to catch shows by particular groups - including some that have not made it to commercial release. The four titles covered here are:
- #014: Chapel Hill, NC March 22, 2009 - duo with Greg Liesz;
- #015: Seattle, WA August 6, 2011 - Beautiful Dreamers Trio with Eyvind Kang & Rudy Royston;
- #016: Florence, Italy February 10, 1993 - Have a Little Faith (Elektra/Nonesuch, 1993) group (Guy Klucevesk, Don Byron, Kermit Driscoll, Joey Baron) performing music from the album (including the entire Aaron Copland Billy the Kid suite) and music from the yet-to-be-released This Land (ELektra/Nonesuch, 1994) (a personal fave);
- #017: Portland, OR February 25, 2012 - Frisell's 858 Quartet (with Jenny Scheinman, Eivind Kang and Hank Roberts), performing, along with some other music, a good chunk of the recent Sign of Life (Savoy Jazz, 2011).
For Frisell fans, manna from heaven! Review here.
