Re: Bill Frisell a master at work.. some great use of looping



Check out FLoratone.  One of the greatest records of the past ten years.  
Like Kind Of Blue with a dash of Telecaster.  Dennis Chambers on drums.  
Truly wonderful, IMHO.

Frisell is not a guitar showboat.  He's more of a composer.  And he has 
cool roots in Delta Blues, jazz, funky music of all stripes.   I'm a 
recent convert of his stuff.  Only know a little bit.  

It's not the guitar playing necessarily that catches me.  It's the whole 
man that comes through the music that speaks to me.  The guitar is just 
the vehicle for the imagination of the whole man. 

That's different!  I love 'different'.

I care more about imagination than guitar chops, or even tones.  And.. I 
care a lot about tones.

Fender Deluxe is not my fave amp and he uses it a lot.  But on Floratone 
the tones are terrific.  And I've seen some live stuff that was quite 
tasty tonally. 

Haven't had time to check this (the topic's original message) clip out.  
Traveling!  Will do when I get home.

love the debate!
