Sharing its title with other collections in this ECM series, this set offers selections featuring guitarist and composer Bill Frisell appearing both as leader and sideman. It documents a startlingly broad range of music from his own boisterous and gleeful horn-infused "Resistor" to the quietly regal "Mandeville" recorded with Paul Motian"s band. There"s the icy northern serenity of "Singsong" recorded with the Jan Garbarek Group and the mournful lilt of Frisell"s own "Alien Prints". While Frisell went on to create a rich catalogue with Nonesuch Records, his work with the ECM label finds him eager to experiment-a trait he"s carried throughout his career. He"s a sympathetic improviser able to let loose both large sheets of sound and beautifully whispered passages from his guitars. The booklet includes his own notes on the pieces and about his collaborators.
