Financial Times: Five Stars for Bill Frisell and His "Spot-On Scores" to Films at Barbican Show
Fresh off yesterday's five-star review in The Guardian, Bill Frisell's tour-closing concert at the Barbican earns another five stars, from the Financial Times. For the show, the Frisell Trio performed Bill's "spot-on score" that gave "a zesty sheen" to the films of Buster Keaton, Jim Woodring, and Bill Morrison, with the Trio's musical efforts "equal partner in the audiovisual experience." The paper sums up Bill's works as "a soundscape pregnant with humour, menace and the struggle to survive."

Guardian: Five Stars for Bill Frisell Trio's Film Music at the Barbican
Bill Frisell concluded his Trio tour—playing music to the films of Buster Keaton, Bill Morrison, and Jim Woodring—at the Barbican in London on Saturday as part of the London Jazz Festival. The Guardian gives a perfect five stars to the performance, in which the Trio gave "all the light and shade needed to underpin three very different film-makers' visions ... Best of all were the Buster Keaton movies The High Sign and One Week, integrating music and vision so brilliantly it was impossible to think of the event as pure film or just jazz."
About this Album
Frisell’s quintet lineup interprets Ives, Copland, Hiatt, Dylan, even Madonna. The New York Times calls Frisell “a gifted improviser more than willing to offer unusual juxtapositions. Bits of country music float by, a jazz idea, a blast of rock.”
