Members Faldoe Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 I got "The Intercontinentals," which is pretty cool. I've liked the videos people have posted where it's just Bill solo, what albums like that should I check out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loobs Posted July 25, 2012 Members Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yeah, I like the one with Dave Holland and Elvin a lot. Also Gone, Like a Train. East West, Nashville and The Intercontinentals are also great. I'm not so crazy on his later stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members smallsnd/bigsnd Posted July 25, 2012 Members Share Posted July 25, 2012 Bill Frisell - With Dave Holland And Elvin Jones The Sweetest Punch: Songs Of Elvis Costello And Burt Bacharach - honestly, i'm not really a fan of elvis costello, but this record has some beautiful arrangements.

Members pulse. Posted July 25, 2012 Members Share Posted July 25, 2012 blues dream was a really nice album, great performance from the entire band rambler has some really nice tunes too, and the performance as all always top notch In most of his discography you can find diamonds, one of the most inspiring guitar player around.

Members hivedestruction Posted July 25, 2012 Members Share Posted July 25, 2012 Loveeeeee Naked City. That's all I've heard with him on it (that I'm aware of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveinLondon Posted July 25, 2012 Members Share Posted July 25, 2012 I completely forgot to recommend Power Tools - 'Strange Meeting'. A trio with Melvin Gibbs and Ronald Shannon Jackson. A little hard to find now as a CD but worth seeking out. One of the great jazz albums of the '80s![video=youtube;-l0zAUXTFqk] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aristotle Posted July 25, 2012 Members Share Posted July 25, 2012 "Boubacar" off East/West is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zetor Posted July 25, 2012 Members Share Posted July 25, 2012 East/West was my introduction to him, recommended. Gone, Just Like a Train is another good one. Also all of the albums he did for ECM. I want to get Live next, since it has received a lot of praise. If you want to hear him in a more conventional setting, I warmly recommend Paul Motian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dZjupp Posted August 30, 2012 Members Share Posted August 30, 2012 pgs just sent an email out, on an article "5 guitarists you should know about" they listed Bill Frisell, i thought for a minute, are you kidding me? if you play guitar and are serious at all and you don't know who bill frisell is, you should be sent to mother russia to be in an all girl band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
