For those who, after his previous CD Ghost Town, wondered where Bill Frisell's musical wanderings would lead, Blues Dream has a diffuse answer. Almost all his fascinations are present: the rural Nashville tint of the CD Have A Little Faith, and the film-like sounds of the CD Quartet. Also featured are Bill's own electronic loops, Greg Leisz's dominant steel guitar and a horn section featuring Ron
… Miles on trumpet, Billy Drewes on sax and Curtis Fowlkes on trombone. And all of this combined in eighteen new compositions, dedicated to The Walker Arts Center. The album also contains an unparalleled tribute to Ron Carter, in which all kinds of things happen around David Pilch's rock solid bass part. Blues Dream is a beautiful album that every fan of Frisell will enjoy. (RM)more
