Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with much of Frisell's work. It's been 
on my to-listen list for ages but somehow hasn't ever made it to the top. 
In fact, interestingly, the only album I own with him on it is John Zorn's 
"Naked City"! I haven't listened to that in years, so I just put it on. Do 
you remember particular tracks where his use of loops stood out? (I know, 
I 
could just keep listening, but I'm lazy.)

Any other Frisell albums that stand out, where his use of looping made an 
impact?
