详细介绍:
Before we marvel at the high-altitude interplay of the Bill Frisell Trio or the sometimes extreme sonic gyrations of its leader, let%27s begin at the most basic level—with stark, simple, standalone guitar declarations. Frisell opens several pieces on Valentine this way, in the clear. He%27ll send a carefully plucked single note out into the air, and then, after it subsides, he%27ll drop another. Tone is his only lure, and it%27s all he needs to suggest the framework of a tune like Levees: The initial phrase operates like an opening scene in a film, establishing a thick and specific atmosphere. Out of that blossoms a six-minute exploration in which Frisell, bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston travel between strict tempo and drifty listlessness, blues repetition and free-jazz high dives, jittery conversation and disquieting silences.
From a single note, there are many resonances; Frisell has been doing this kind of quiet alchemy for years, of course. Valentine is among the most rousing works in his extensive discography in part because it%27s so relentlessly visual. On just about every piece, Frisell and his trio work transfixingly together to conjure dirt-road sojurns and nature vistas out of thin air. They create contemplative spaces the jazz academy never visits. They dance through a blithe, lighthearted reading of Burt Bacharach%27s What The World Needs Now and a disquieting sorrow-filled version of We Shall Overcome. And on many of Frisell%27s skeletal originals (the stunning Keep Your Eyes Open, for example), they transform their three-way improvised abstractions into clear, singable music that has the sturdy narrative arc of classic country music.
As these journeys unfold, it becomes clear that right along with the spontaneity there%27s some deep intention at work. The stylistic juxtapositions and sudden changes in density are hardly random. Neither are the fragile little introductions—somehow they%27re all Frisell needs to telegraph where he%27s going. As in so many aspects of life, the tone is set from the top. © Tom Moon/Qobuz
