“I had this thing in my mind, to try this with just Eyvind and him, without bass,” said Frisell earlier this week, adding one of his characteristically modest, self-deprecating caveats. “I don’t know how to explain why, but I think it might work.”

From Earshot Jazz:
Bill Frisell, the only guitarist of his kind, and one who is has by now reshaped the instrument’s contributions to jazz as much as any of his predecessors, appears for two nights at the always friendly Tractor Tavern. Flush from the release of his new album – a 2CD set entitled History Mystery – Frisell is joined by two longtime collaborators: Seattle’s own Eyvind Kang, who is always a purveyor of great mystery and fascination, on viola, and Rudy Royston, on drums. These promise to be evenings in the vein that Frisell has perfected in the last 10 to 15 years: a mystery tour of music merged from all around the American songbooks and stylebooks. Like a comforting and transporting trip on a comfy farm vehicle. Recommended.
