I'm with Kris about Frisell. When he went off into Americana he lost an edge that we don't see too often any more. Still interesting, but in a world full of shredaholic flurrymonsters I loved that there was a player who could be blistering and lyrical at the same time. Maybe players can do that at the level of Frisells's mid to late 80s stuff for only so long, or maybe they stop wanting to do so. John Abercrombie was, for me, sort of Frisell's predecessor on this path... not that he does Americana, but his chamber music, pretty though it is, is a far cry from Timeless or Lookout Farm.

Am I amaginng things, or is Bill starting to sound more like Scofield with his backbeats on this production? (listen to Handjive, A Go Go, etc). Floratone and Swamped are my favorites. ...but oh how I long for the old Frisell sound on "Rambler", "Bill Frisell, Kermit Driscoll, and Joey Baron - Live", American Blood, Safety in Numbers", etc. I've grown weary with the new sound he started with Nashville, which now seems to be threaded throughout most of his recent works....it's a great sound, no doubt...I just like his more obscure and darker material. On a more grave note, what is the deal with Kermitt? There is/was a benefit concert to raise money for him...to recoup from finance losse, medical bills from Lymes disease, etc. Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: "tEd (r) kiLLiAn" <tedkillian@charter.net> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 2:06 PM Subject: NEW FRISELL RELAEASE "FLORATONE" Just released today . . .
