His best for a long, long time- By: , 17 Feb 2001 In the late 80s & early 90s, Bill Frisell released a handful of truly fantastic guitar driven modern jazz albums. Then, it seemed he was happy to age gracefully but never reach his peak again... And suddenly, here comes "Blues Dream" that fuses the best of "Rambler", "Before we were born", & "This land" with his more recent country-tinged approach but manages to be more than the sum of its parts! The guitars' interplay in amazing, the horns bring an extra dimension to the general sound & mood, & the new rhythm section is excellent.... Great album & his best for ages!A remarkable work by truly an original artist- By: , 05 Feb 2001 Ever since his first releases as a solo artist, Bill Frisell has had a voice of his own both as an instrumentalist & as a composer. Over the years & over the course of numerous excellent albums he has become one of the most serious contenders as "The American composer" for the 21st century. His new album "Blues Dream" is truly a stunning display of his diverse talents, a fascinating piece of "fusion Americana" encompassing several musical styles from country to jazz into a coherent whole. With a slightly bigger band than usual Frisell takes a giant leap forward as a composer & arranger & shows that he is capable of delivering the goods indeed! Partly Mingus, partly Copland & entirely Frisell, "Blues Dream" is a remarkable work by truly an original artist.
