5.0 out of 5 stars The best., April 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Where in the World (Audio CD)

This is the best Frisell CD there is, and that's saying a lot. Awesome. A must-have. Hypnotic, haunting, and mind-bending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unsung beauty..., August 6, 2000

This album is one of Bill Frisell's diamonds in the rough! This album features a quartet setting adding a cello to frisell's usual trio (baron, driscoll). The results are haunting and amazing. The beauty of the songs are what stike me the most. His songwriting abilities are really on display here. Although, Frisell does get naughty a few times with some excellent solos. The album has a masked tenderness with dark overtones, the feel the album creates is the crowning aspect of the album. Just try out "Rob Roy," "Child at Heart," and "where in the World?" to really get a taste of this hauntingly beautiful album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who is this guy ??!!, September 20, 2003

Salamander Trump (Somewhere not too far away) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Where in the World (Audio CD)

New to the jazz scene and still undecided on which genre suits me best. I've explored Mingus to Uri Caine, Coltrane to John Zorn. But I must say this album, on first listen, blew me away. Haunting and intense. Something that stirs the heart and soul from within. It takes you to far away places never wanting to return. Melodic and beautiful. Just a touch of avant garde. Enough to satisfy the craving. This is my first Bill Frisell album and only discovered him from reading reviews and listening to sound bytes on Amazon. Someone make a recommendation for my next. Please !! Hurry !!
