As far as I'm concerned, Bill Frisell can do no wrong. His East/West live album is a joy to listen to, with all his virtuosity and bizarre sonic choices on display. The band's cover of "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" is brilliant, with the long introduction concealing the melody until the big reveal, when you hear BF turn up the volume knob and really bear down on it. His relationship to the beat is an extremely elastic one, and it's fun to hear where he eventually decides to come down - and it's always a decision. The intentionality of his playing is one of the things I enjoy the most. It often sounds like a discovery, but it's a discovery based in a concerted train of thought that takes him to whatever new thing he finds.
And don't even get me started on "Good Dog, Happy Man."
So thanks for this, is my point, I guess.
