Product Details

Frisell has spent decades quietly dismantling the boundaries between American vernacular music and the concert hall, and his work with large ensembles has always revealed something in his playing that smaller settings can't quite contain. Morgan and Royston are among the most sympathetic rhythm partners he's ever worked with, bringing a conversational intimacy that keeps the orchestral scale from overwhelming the humanity at the center of it all.

Bill Frisell’s expansive double album Orchestras documents two inspired concert-hall engagements arranged by Michael Gibbs for the guitarist’s trio with bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston. Sweeping orchestration evoking landmark film scores and Gil Evans alike move nimbly within and around the trio’s telepathic rapport, and Frisell’s shimmering trademark tone melds gorgeously with symphonic strings and brass.
