Recording an electric guitar/pipe organ/drum kit trio has some logistical and acoustical challenges. It took a while for them to find a church that would work. It was in Manhattan's West Village and they recorded this in two days.

It's ensemble playing at its finest, with intensity and intimacy in equal measure and perfect balance between the instruments. Every moment sounds like a single voice from three different people.

The shape and sound of each piece is almost always different but always just right. After decades of listening to Bill Frisell, hundreds of live performances and probably about a hundred records, I didn't expect him to surprise me as much as he does here. And yet, of course and as always, he sounds like himself, immediately recognizable.

It's a fascinating and inspiring record, one that rewards close and repeated listening.

You should definitelybuy it here!
