Great disc, I highly recommend
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2011
What would you expect from a great covers album? Pesonally, I expect to relate to the original material, after all I wouldn't want to hear covers of songs I don't love or even like. I don't want to lose the original joy that song had. Secondly, I want to hear something more that's brought in by the artist that's doing the covers. This album does both things. I must admit I was surprised. Frequently covers have the idiosyncracies of talented performer swamping the original tune so that it's totally lost. It might be great muscianship but why call the song by it's original name? We love all these songs and the original melodies are all there to be enjoyed in a new way. A good test for me is that I want to play the album over and over. Nice one.

"All We Are Saying..." is a loving celebration of the music of John Lennon. For this project, Bill Frisell plays with long time musical companions Jenny Scheinman (violin), Tony Scherr (bass), Greg Leisz (guitars), and Kenny Wollesen (drums). Together, this instrumental band plays Americana Rock. The song list offers a balance of Beatles and solo work. The eclectic song selection is a strength that includes prerequisites such as 'Give Peace a Chance' and 'Come Together' along with some lesser known tunes such as 'Hold On' and 'Number 9 Dream.' The band works most often with Lennon's slower paced material. Indeed, the group is able to beautifully capture the sentimentality of relaxed songs such as 'Beautiful Boy,' 'In My Life' and 'Woman.' On the other hand, the group can also turn up the heat for rockers such as 'Revolution,' 'Please, Please Me,' and 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away.' As far as the execution goes, it is solid but straight-forward. The guitar work plays Lennon's vocal parts. Considering what these musicians have done together, the band maintains restraint when it comes to both the performance and arrangements. While there's little innovation, it's still great for what it is. Indeed, when it comes to this material, there's the sense that Frisell and company 'get it.' "All We Are Saying..." is worth listening to for both Frisellians and enthusiasts of Lennon. Bill Frisell plays the music of John Lennon . . . what could be better?

"All We Are Saying" is yet another in Bill Frisell's long line of exceptional compositions, arrangements and performances. He has taken what are effectively old standards - certainly Beatles tunes are today what Louis Armstrong or Duke Ellington tunes were a generation ago - and moved them to new places. He honors Lennon's intention and melody yet creates layers of sound for which he has become reknown.

The guitar has grown beyond measure since Charlie Christian, Django, Burton, Hendrix and yes Lennon and Harrison, but while so many great guitar players have migrated towards playing faster and faster, Bill Frisell has gone his own way by embracing classic notions of melody and timing while creating a whole new world of drive, texture and depth. Beatles tunes haven't sounded better since the Beatles . . . .

Too safe, too reverential a treatment of these songs. On YouTube you can find Frisell and friends playing much more interesting (live) versions of these same songs. This seems to be something of a pattern with Frisell: disappointing studio outings, brilliant live shows. On the other hand, if you don't like it when musicians take liberties with songs, then this might be right up your alley. (As Pat Metheny has observed, it's too bad that the pattern in the music business is to record an album, then go out on the road to promote it. Almost invariably, the playing on the road lifts the music to another level as the musicians get more in sync with each other. Recording at the end of the tour--or perhaps midway through it--would result in better albums.)

Edit: My opinion on this music has changed. I think it’s a question of expectations. Frisell is a master improviser, and I came to this music eager to hear how Frisell would transform these songs. Well, there wasn’t as much of a transformation as I was hoping for. Hence my disappointment. But for some reason I kept the CD and threw it on a couple more times, most recently a couple of weeks ago. And I realized, “I’m really liking this music.” I’m sure it’s partly that my love for the Beatles has been rekindled, but I think I also just came to appreciate this music for what it is, instead of being disappointed that it wasn’t what I wanted it to be.

Since the naysayers are just giving their opinions, please hear another opinion. This CD is aurally exciting and a true breath of fresh air. To combine the compositional genius of the Beatles with that of Bill Frisell has spawned a CD of exceptional beauty and one that takes the old music and makes it new. It is one that can be listened to over and over. Put some other music in between, put it on the back burner, play it over and over. They all work, depending on your listening style. Negate the naysayers and have a listen for yourself. The full CD is way better than the 30 second bites, which I found good enough to purchase the download. Don't be denied this pleasure because a few didn't like it. Obviously I truly enjoy this music.

I just stumbled across Bill's name, and ordered this. We played clarinet together in the high school band and orchestra, many years ago. I really enjoyed reading about the musical journey he has taken.

This recording touches a soft spot in my heart. It is a lovely combination of jazz, blues with a touch of country and a touch of whimsy on some of the tracks. I will order more of his albums. What a find!

If you are familiar with Bill Frisell's voice on the guitar and his approach to improvisation you would appreciate his lyrical interpretation of the songs chosen for this project. People who already know and love these songs, I think, would enjoy listening in a different way. And may find themselves singing along. Some arrangements may feel a bit off main stream to some people. However that is what makes them unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars 貴重なアルバム
Reviewed in Japan on March 29, 2024
ビル・フリゼールは1951年生まれのアメリカのギタリスト、コロンビア大・バークリー音大卒、3歳年下だが18歳で教える側だったパット・メセニーのサポートでデビューしている。
一言で言うと、いい意味で生得的な「レトロミュージシャン」。
本アルバムではレノン・ソング「のみ」をカバーしている。

2005年に頼まれ仕事でパリで演奏したのが端緒、その後は特に売りにすることもなかったが、2010年にオークランドで意識的に再開したとのこと(本作のリリースは2011年)。

個人的に以前より疑問だったのは、クラシック・現代音楽、あるいはジャズがビートルズカバーをする際に、「何故いつもマッカートニーソングなのか?」という点だった。
この貴重なカバーアルバムはその答の一部を示している。

まず、スティール・ギターなどを入れると田舎のショッピングセンターのBGMみたいになる。これは宜しくない。
レノンソングは楽曲としては濃密ではなく、ジョンの類い稀なボーカル、バンド編成と不可分な(スコアの楽曲ではなく、具体音色がキーとなる)固有性の高い作品だと知ることになる。

このアルバムには収録されていないが、フリゼールのソロライブ(YouTubeで観れる)ではストロベリーフィールズなども披露されている。
別の曲、別の編成、他のプレーヤーにまだまだこのトライアルが引き継がれることを期待したい。

そういう観点からとても貴重なアルバムだと思います。
