You are in the right ,realaxe :-))   Frisell made 2(?) Discs as a 
guitarist for garbarek , one is called " Paths, prints , and...."???
(not really shure on that one)
and the other one was called "Wayfarer"....   Me , beeing a weird 
Norwegian and all , I love that airy lush ECM sound.
Kinda reminds me of home (up on the Northern coastline)  when Im sitting 
here in Oslo (the largest city here).

A tip to all of you fellow ECM luvvas:    Kenney Wheeler - The 
FlugelHornist , Trumpeter and Composer.... He has released a bunch of
wonderfull and deep records on ECM. BTW , Im not talking hi tech ,  angry 
avant-punk here. I talking "afrodisiac for the soul".....(could I
be any more pompous??)   Wheelers music has all the good stuff, 
Composition  imrovisation  timbre and so forth , only;  Its not a guitar , 
its
the warmest sounding horn since Chet Baker  (the jazz purists will "fatwa" 
me for that one.) As an additional bonus to us on the list (it seems), 
Wheeler phoned Bill Frisell when he went into the studio to record his 
latest : "Angel Song".  Angel song is a must have for any
Sentient Beeing That Owns a Stereo. Its on ECM , and its made by  Wheeler 
, Konitz , Holland , Frisell ..(all of wich need no introduction Im shure).

Yeah!  That one has always been my favourite frisell album , and now you 
made me realize why....

Power Tools?   I have heard mention of that before , but I have no idea 
what it is. ne1??
