Sunday Music Muse Day - Bill Frisell, Charles Lloyd with Bill Frisell

This Sunday Music Muse Day finds us dodging a major snow storm to the west of us in the Buffalo, NY area, We're talking 6' plus of snow, and possibly more to come. Here in the Rochester area, the skies as most clear but cold. Our forecast of maybe 4" of snow hasn't panned out yet. While we wait, I'll enjoy these two CDs featuring Bill Frisell, as a leader and a sideman. First up, Bill Frisell Four, a quartet outing with Frisell on guitar, Gregory Tardy on Saxophone and Clarinet, Gerald Clayton on piano, and Jonathon Blake on drum. This is a new release this month on Blue Note Records label. A new Frisell CD is always a pleasure and it will get many of time on my player.



The second CD is Charles Lloyd Trios Chapel, with Charles Lloyd on tenor saxophone and alto flute,  Bill Frisell on guitar, and Thomas Morgan on bass.  The wonderful music present here was recorded live in a chapel, and another recent Blue Note Records release.  Charles Lloyd's liner notes states you can feel in this trio, that "3"is "the number of the divine.  I totally agree.  It's well worth a listen.




I feel for the western New Yorkers getting pounded by the snow.  We here know our time for heavy snow could be right around the corner, until then, stay warm, and stay safe.
