Re: Monsters of Loop - Bill Frisell



Kris thanks much for turning me on to this! Absolutely stunning. I thought 
I 
had about all his stuff. The most loop oriented I have heard from him. The 
poetry throughout is wonderful So Thin and A great rendition of Gone, Just 
Like A Train stand out. Way to go.
