▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ Release Notes ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Though he's passed through several phases during the last two
decades, guitarist Bill Frisell has manifested an uncanny
ability to transport listeners across gaps in time, space,
and style. His jump-cut playing with Naked City did this in a
blunt and abrupt fashion; recordings from his country-tinged
period tugged at the very roots of American string music; and
his 2003 Nonesuch recording, The Intercontinentals, leapt
boldly across international boundaries.
In a similar fashion, the double live set East/West,
assembled from recent dates in New York and Oakland,
respectively, is a flying carpet all its own. But what is
striking is how very effectively the recording accomplishes
this feat, given its extended duration and the fact that
these sixteen pieces were spliced together from several days'
worth of live performances. If nothing else, you have to
credit Frisell with consistencyùan attribute that also
applies to his trio mates, Kenny Wollesen (drums), Tony
Scherr (bass on East), and Viktor Krauss (bass on West).
This music displays several uncommon characteristics: it
conveys a deep respect for memory, both musical and cultural;
it's somewhat pastoral and imbued with a related organic
fertility; and it's saturated with resonant tones. Whether
the backbeat or the downbeat takes the pole position depends
on whether a given piece may be based in rock/blues/country
or jazz (almost all the former). Frisell definitely has an
ear for dissonance, but he mostly prefers to use it as a
spice, rather than a main ingredient.
The West disc has the most coherent flow. It gets off to a
comfortably familiar start with I Heard It Through the
Grapevine, then digs deep into driving, rocking blues on the
next piece. So far, so good, so American... but then a
six-minute slice of mutated West African blues shows up in
the form of Boubacar just down the road. This ultra-resonant
piece works the backbeat in a much more relaxed, meditative
fashion.
The ten pieces on East are more fragmentary, though they have
their own high points. A timbrally clean take on The Days of
Wine and Roses takes a little while to get into its groove,
but once the rhythm section kicks in, everything starts
swinging nicely. Frisell's relatively short phrases have a
conversational aspect, making use of irregular spacing and
occasional dissonance. The bright fourteen-minute original
ôRon Carterö has some nice give-and-take counterpoint. The
one and only real low point is the annoying but mercifully
brief Tennessee Flat Top Box, which takes finger-snapping
bluegrass straight into a black hole of noise to wrap the
disc up.
Depending on your tastes, especially with respect to loops
and effects, the backbeat, blues, and country, you'll get
more out of some of these pieces than others. But taken as a
whole, this is a creative and consistent collection that begs
repeated listens and stands with the very best of Frisell's
recorded work.
