I'm old fashioned. I bought the CD via Amazon.

Unfortunately, I’m having problems with my ID/password, but the snippets I’m able to obtain sound great!
-
I got it, and am loving the entire band, as well as all of the material!!!!!
-
Oops wrong album!! ????. What a friggin’ goof ball. Well, in the meantime enjoying a different MH album!
-
I guess I like tone, groove and inspired lines....oh well......
-
I checked some snippets, I guess I'm just annoyed by out of tune guitar. I know I know, it's on purpose, a 'concept', an effect, but I'm old and stoopid. I'll look for another Bill collaboration next time though.

heard a bit of the clips..Mary is going to play it how she wants..a woman playing jazz guitar and doing it her way..I would not even know where to begin if I wanted to "copy her licks" ...I am just glad she is doing it..Im sure there are women we will never know about or hear/see their talent for a list of reasons..and yes that goes for men also..
when I first heard/saw Keith Jarrett..I thought..of Cecile Taylor and Eric Dolphy .. and some question inside asked..can he just play "ordinary jazz"..? .. yeah I know...I saw a recent vid of him and Chick Corea playing Mozart together with an orchestra .. of course the man is beyond most players abilities by a lot..I think Mary may be in that sphere of musician where she not only hears music differently but IT plays her .. and for most of us that takes getting used to..

Mary is hit or miss on this record. Misty is definitely a miss for her. The track sounds like Bill is playing the tune in a busy intersection. Is she supposed to be accompanying him?
Their playing aligns much better on Walk Don't Run.
I love Mary's compositions and her playing in her own groups. Hopefully others have some thoughts to share on the album!

That's a weird collaboration for sure, I wonder how it came about... In the past I would say that's a record company idea more than anything... I love most of the Bill's stuff though, I don't know how happy he is with this record, it's a tough one.
-
I like both players, and thought I'd snap up this album, but the excerpts just felt...meh. I've been listening these last few days to Trout Mask Replica, which kind of makes everything else sound middle-of-the-roadish.
THIS is how to play Moonlight On Vermont!

I like progressive music, but I didn’t like the clips enough to purchase the album.
some of the tunes felt forced. What do I know though, 2 masters at work.

Here’s a cut:

My favorite Frisell stuff that I keep coming back to over and over again are those projects where there are a lot of other colors that Bill's sound is part of: The big band recording with Michael Gibbs, The sweetest punch orchestrations, all the "on broadway" stuff, etc.
one of my very first "jazz" shows was in the early 90s at the old knitting factory, with Bill on guitar, Don Byron on clarinet, a tuba and a bunch of other folks. I was about 14, had just barely gotten into jazz via john coltrane quartet. the music sounded utterly foreign to me, like it was from outer space.

Be interesting to hear where she and Bill meet on this one...Last edited by guido5; 08-06-2018 at 06:17 AM.

I checked out the previews. Walk, Don't Run was ok, the rest was simply awful.
