Unscientific Italians: Play The Music Of Bill Frisell Vol. 1

Read "Play The Music Of Bill Frisell Vol. 1" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

Few would argue against Bill Frisell's status as one of the most singular and influential guitarists/composers since around 1980. And yet, the Baltimore-born musician remains something of an enigma: easy to admire but a tad more difficult to pin down. Instantly recognizable from just a handful of notes, Frisell is, at the same time, a musical ...

Simin Tander: No Looking Back

Read "Simin Tander: No Looking Back" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

When an album receives widespread critical acclaim, generating extensive touring in its wake, the temptation must be to repeat the formula next time around.
