I lovelovelovelove Lennox Ave Breakdown, but I wish someone would come out with a CD version with all 4 tunes in their complete versions, instead of fading in the middle of those blazing improvs. The First Frisell I ever heard, the album that made me a fan, was Billy Hart's Oshumare, and I've never heard him sound better. 72261@blogcritics.org Sat, 3 Jul 2004 15:49:58 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/07/02/210018.php#comment-72220 Frisell is one of the few artist who can take something like Bacharach and really make something new of it. His take of "What the World Needs Now" is breathtaking. It's available on a Bacharach tribute John Zorn's Tzadik label (no kidding) put out a number of years ago but you might be able to track down a fantastic live version from Poland in, I believe, 1993 (I have this show, just don't have it next to me to check on the date.) 72220@blogcritics.org Sat, 3 Jul 2004 01:05:04 EDT
