Title: A mixed bag
Review: If you are familiar with Bill Frisell's work, you will know what I mean by "mixed bag". This album has Frisell's signature 'jazz with a slight country twang' tone, plus everything from latin to rag to rock to free improv. The ensemble is fantastic, based around Frisell's regular trio of the time, Joey Baron on drums and Kermit Driscoll on bass. He augments this with clarinettist Don Byron, alto saxophonist Billy Drewes and trombonist Curtis Fowlkes. All in all an excellent work, highlights including Frisell standards "Rag", "Amarillo Barbados" and "Resistor".
