I just posted these comments about the album over on the What Are You Listening To thread. FYI, mate.

New album by Bill Frisell playing with two different orchestras. This song is with the Brussels Philharmonic.

I haven't listened yet. It's in the rota for this afternoon. Will post my comments then ... Edit: Well, it's not easy music to critique, that's for sure. It's very complex and the presence of the orchestras opens up many options for Bill and his arranger Michael Gibbs (who is an interesting...

Music arranged by Michael Gibbs, song composed by Billy Strayhorn. All right, this is just a blast. Ragtime with a jazz flair. Yeah. The 2nd half of the album is with the Umbria Jazz Orchestra of Italy. They seem better-suited to accompanying Bill on this kind of music. The Circle album was...

Knowing @Ableza's history (all whisky, not bourbon) this is a powerful complement for Oregon Spirit. :-)

Excellent! Here we go, again. Keep 'em coming, mate ... I appreciate the new music ideas. :-)

Germany liberated. All the Trabants marching to the West. :-)

Agree, and my thanks as well. After yesterday's music discussion here, I added ten albums to my Roon library from Qobuz including two new (for me) jazz pianists. Thanks also to @earnmyturns for being on the forefront of modern jazz artistry. I also snagged the more experimental David Bowie...

Joe always starts his shows exactly on time. We saw him a couple years ago and it was great - powerful. Highly recommended. :-)

Oops, wrong video. :-)

Gotta love it. I talk to myself, too, but not usually in print in a Head-Fi forum. I should try that ... it might be revelatory. Whaddya ya think, RCB? Yeppers, thanks for the idea! :-)

Sorry for your loss. I, too, lost both sets of parents and my first wife at age 35, and music helped me through the grieving and healing process. It's like a therapy to either bring the grief forward or deflect it. I've always felt that I can connect with Leonard Cohen. Van Morrison's music is...

The first album that really got me into the blues, via the expert @whirlwind. This is the 20-yr remastered version, released in 2023 in FLAC 24-bit 5.1 format, the SQ is exceptional. It's a bit unusual for Joe; most of the songs are covers, but he was really just fooling around in the studio...

I love his music, but have deliberately avoided that album, for that very reason. I suppose eventually I need to suck it up and listen.

I felt that way when Chick Corea passed on, out of the blue.
