1	The Willies (2002) more music like this by Bill Frisell Echoing his 1995 release, Nashville, Bill Frisell's The Willies revisits the auburn sounds of American roots music. Although he has dipped into folk music in prior efforts, these songs follow the traditional mode even more faithfully than any of his previous releases, with only minor shifts into his familiar dissonant explorations. Assisted by ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £12.65!

3	Good Dog, Happy Man (1999) more music like this by Bill Frisell No doubt pleased with his countrified direction on Gone, Just Like a Train, Bill Frisell gives us a lot more of basically the same thing here -- only with expanded numbers in the ranks. Bassist Viktor Krauss and drummer Jim Keltner return, now accompanied by Wayne Horvitz's understated organ and piano; Greg Leisz on an assortment of fretted ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £12.45!
4	Unspeakable (2004) more music like this by Bill Frisell With the exception of 2003's Intercontinentals, Bill Frisell had been playing it pretty safe for some time, sticking to his own personal vision of variations on the Americana theme (with nearly all of those albums being produced by Lee Townsend, by the way). Well, a change of producers often means a change of pace, and teaming up with eclectic ... see all copies from £7.34! new only from £12.45!
5	Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Whether you regard him as one of the greatest storytellers in American history or a cold-hearted marketing genius who forced a set of prepackaged consumerist myths on several generations of unsuspecting youth, there's little argument that the films of Walt Disney have become an indelible part of our collective subconsciousness. Then again, for ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!
6	This Land (1992) more music like this by Bill Frisell Famed photographer Walker Evans' black-and-white photo of a rural Mississippi railroad station sets the stage for guitarist Bill Frisell's homespun depiction of Americana on this 1994 release. Here, the artist and his horn-based sextet serve up an aural panorama consisting of country blues motifs, modern jazz, and even Caribbean grooves. The ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £10.37!
7	Songs We Know (1998) more music like this by Fred Hersch & Bill Frisell see all copies from £4.78! new only from £7.83!
8	With Dave Holland and Elvin Jones (2001) more music like this by Bill Frisell/Elvin Jones/Dave Holland What can you expect but good things from a date featuring three players of such high pedigree. With Dave Holland and Elvin Jones representing the steadfast rhythm sections of old, and with Frisell's post-modern tones being among the finest voices moving jazz forward, a date like this should easily yield some classic moments. But Frisell comes up ... see all copies from £7.85! new only from £11.11!
9	Time and Time Again (2007) more music like this by Paul Motian/Bill Frisell/Joe Lovano In 2005, Paul Motian returned to ECM as a leader after a long hiatus. He reassembled his partnership with guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist Joe Lovano. The album they released, I Have the Room Above Her, was ecstatically reviewed across the globe. The trio members, who hadn't recorded together as such since 1984, showed a tremendous empathy ... see all copies from £6.58! new only from £13.16!

11 view cover	Nashville (1997) more music like this by Bill Frisell The vague country elements long dwelling on the fringes of Bill Frisell's music rise to the forefront on Nashville, an exquisitely atmospheric collection recorded in Music City with the aid of dobro legend Jerry Douglas, Union Station members Adam Steffey and Ron Block, and Lyle Lovett & His Large Band's bassist Viktor Krauss. Produced by Wayne ... see all copies from £5.71! new only from £11.11!
12 view cover	Bill Frisell, Ron Carter, Paul Motian (2006) more music like this by Bill Frisell/Ron Carter/Paul Motian It's hard to imagine that Bill Frisell at 55 is the youngster of this group. But he is by a long shot. Not that it matters in terms of musicality; rather, it's that younger modernism and its involvement with different musical genres that make Frisell such a welcome foil for the likes of two heavyweights like Paul Motian and Ron Carter. To say that ... see all copies from £11.35! new only from £12.45!
13 view cover	Blues Dream (2001) more music like this by Bill Frisell From the beginning of Blues Dream, the listener knows that something special is going on. The spare notes of Ron Miles' trumpet and the relaxed guitar work of Greg Leisz lay the groundwork for a spacious sound on the title cut. This openness remains throughout the album, even when alto and trombone are added into the mix. The instrumental "Ron ... see all copies from £10.20! new only from £12.45!
14 view cover	The Sweetest Punch: The Songs of Costello and Bacharach (1999) more music like this by Elvis Costello & Bill Frisell Elvis Costello's collaboration with Burt Bacharach produced the exquisite Painted From Memory, an unabashedly classicist pop album that recalled Bacharach's heyday with Hal David. It was such an individual album, unlike anything in Costello's catalog, that it's a wonder that the same batch of songs could produce another album as equally compelling ... see all copies from £9.48! new only from £11.84!
15 view cover	East/West (2005) more music like this by Bill Frisell The allusion of the title East/West is an apt one; this live double-CD set is a study in contrasts. Recorded just six months apart with two different trios, Bill Frisell really shows both sides of his musical personality. The "East" disc was recorded in December of 2003 at the Village Vanguard with Frisell on guitar (acoustic and electric) and ... see all copies from £12.13! new only from £12.13!
16 view cover	I Have the Room Above Her (2005) more music like this by Paul Motian/Bill Frisell/Joe Lovano The sum total of the nuanced, elliptical lyricism at the heart of Paul Motian's compositional method can be heard in the opening seconds of "Osmosis Part III," the first track from I Have the Room Above Her. Recorded for ECM -- with producer Manfred Eicher, guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist Joe Lovano -- this date is Motian's first as a ... see all copies from £8.33! new only from £8.33!
17 view cover	Deep Dead Blue, Live at Meltdown (1995) more music like this by Elvis Costello & Bill Frisell A lovely, understated exercise in minimalism, Deep Dead Blue documents a set of otherwise unaccompanied guitar/vocal duets between Bill Frisell and Elvis Costello, recorded live at the Meltdown Festival in London's Queen Elizabeth Hall on June 25, 1995. Although the performance isn't even quite half an hour long, it's the perfect length for ... see all copies from £11.66! new only from £11.66!
18 view cover	Have a Little Faith (1992) more music like this by Bill Frisell Bill Frisell has long been one of the most unique guitarists around. Able to switch on a moment's notice from sounding like a Nashville studio player to heavy metal, several styles of jazz, and just pure noise, Frisell can get a remarkable variety of sounds and tones out of his instrument. This set features Frisell in a quintet with Don Byron (on ... see all copies from £8.78! new only from £11.11!
19 view cover	Great Jewish Music: Burt Bacharach (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This two-CD set, produced by John Zorn, is second in a series of compilation albums dedicated to Jewish composers. The formidable and oft-forgotten -- ignored, perhaps -- Burt Bacharach is the focus of this album. Zorn calls upon some excellent musicians for this effort, including Medeski, Martin & Wood, Joey Baron, Bill Frisell, and a host of ... see all copies from £13.02! new only from £15.67!
20 view cover	Go West: Music for the Films of Buster Keaton (1995) more music like this by Bill Frisell In 1995, Bill Frisell released an instrumental album composed for Buster Keaton's films, Go West. The disc acts as the live accompaniment to the silent films, much like seeing them in their original release form. Go West is a Buster Keaton classic often compared to the Charlie Chaplin classics. The story follows a down-and-out Midwesterner ... see all copies from £9.93! new only from £14.28!
21 view cover	Bill Frisell Quartet (1996) more music like this by Bill Frisell Guitarist Bill Frisell has become well-known for his eccentric and highly versatile style. Able to sound like Jim Hall, a heavy metal player, or a Nashville studio guitarist at a moment's notice, Frisell has created sounds on the guitar that have never been heard before. This CD uses a rather unusual instrumentation, a quartet comprised of Frisell ... see all copies from £7.85! new only from £14.17!
22 view cover	Heaven (2002) more music like this by Ron Miles With Bill Frisell On these stark and stunning duets, Miles and Frisell display complete rapport with respect to manipulating silences and minimal resources. There's an arid quality in their approach, which turns each title into an audio approximation of a desert mirage, shimmering yet still in heavy, timeless heat. Each song gets plenty of breathing room; none is ... see all copies from £9.67! new only from £9.67!
23 view cover	Live (1991) more music like this by Bill Frisell/Kermit Driscoll/Joey Baron A Bill Frisell solo can invoke amber waves of grain, the south side of Chicago, and various places in New England, all in the space of three bars. His tonal palette is hugely varied, yet his sound is completely personal -- only Richard Thompson can boast a guitar style so individual and fully realized. Think of the music of Duke Ellington, Charlie ... see all copies from £5.39! new only from £7.90!
24 view cover	The Intercontinentals (2003) more music like this by Bill Frisell Bill Frisell has been actively -- some would say obsessively -- exploring the depths and dimensions of American roots music since the release of Nashville in 1997. His subsequent recordings -- Ghost Town, Gone Just Like a Train, Blues Dream, Good Dog, Happy Man, and The Willies -- were all approaches to the various folk styles that originated on ... see all copies from £7.85! new only from £8.60!
25 view cover	Weird Nightmare: Meditations on Mingus (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Producer Hal Willner had created a reputation as a fascinating instigator, organizing homages to composers as diverse as Nino Rota and Thelonious Monk wherein he conscripted the services of musicians from all over the stylistic map, allowing them to bring their unique interpretations and approaches to bear on the subjects. For his Charles Mingus ... see all copies from £4.10! new only from £9.43!
