REVIEWS
Unlike any other project from Frisell or anyone else,
the Beautiful Dreamers project redefines sonic beauty
as much as it redefines the jazz trio. Not one to hold on to labels,
Bill Frisell adds yet another idiom to his unique musical lexicon.
- Andrea Canter, JAZZ POLICE
In the most understated way possible, Beautiful
Dreamers' special intimacy, quiet joy and constant sound
of surprise represent a shift in Frisell's music. Moving away from
project specificity and, instead, towards a consolidation of the
guitarist's multifaceted interests, it's a beautiful way, indeed,
to kick-start this relationship with a new label. - By John Kelman

This Week's Best Albums: August 31, 2010
"There's little ground that guitarist Bill Frisell hasn't covered in
his 30-year career, which has spanned country, folk, jazz, blues, film
scores, and experimental music. And though each subsequent release
is exciting and often unexpected, this new ensemble ‹ featuring
violist Eyvind Kang and drummer Rudy Royston ‹ gives Frisell
the chance to spread his reach ever that much further. Beautiful
Dreamers presents the three splicing together Frisell's melodic
phrasing, Kang's amorphous talents, and Royston's soft jazz drumming
for a unique batch of originals and reinterpretations of classics,
including takes on tunes by Benny Goodman, Stephen Foster, and Blind
Willie Johnson." - by Scott Morrow , Alarm Press
