The latest Nonesuch release by celebrated guitarist, composer
and bandleader Bill Frisell marks the recording debut of The
Intercontinentals, a band he formed in 2001 which made its
performance debut at SeattleÆs Earshot Jazz Festival that fall.
The recording, produced by Lee Townsend, features both the
original band members, which include the Brazilian composer,
singer, guitarist and percussionist Vinicius Cantußria;
Greek-Macedonian musician Christos Govetas on oud, bouzouki and
vocals; and MaliÆs Sidiki Camara on percussion and vocals, as
well as subsequently added musicians Greg Leisz on pedal steel
and various slide guitars and violinist Jenny Scheinman.
Blending FrisellÆs own brand of American roots music and his
inimitable improvisational style with the influences of
Brazilian, Greek and Malian sounds has enabled him to expand
upon his compositional technique in unique ways. The resulting
sound has been described by Downbeat as possessing ôfine webs
of guitar interlacings, swaying momentum, dense textures and
rhythmic urgency.ö The albumÆs 14 tracks also include
compositions by Cantußria, Govetas, Malian guitarist Boubacar
Traore and Brazilian singer Gilberto Gil.
Frisell, in talking about this collaboration, has said, ôWith
this group IÆve been finding all kinds of new musical
connections. ItÆs been a challenge and an inspiration.
