Bill Frisell's entire career is represented here in a single, 10-minute microcosm. The slowly building melodic concept, the extreme rubato, the Americana, the elongated tones both chiming and distorted. And mostly, the idea that beauty lives in places far away from what's considered 'normal.' Credit must be given to Joey Baron's sensitive percussion work and Kermit Driscoll's knowing bass. The pair manages to keep the piece together as Frisell takes the tune more and more 'out.' For Madonna fans and improvised music aficionados alike.
