Welcome to episode 80 of Love That Album podcast.
Due to time commitments this month, I am using the
opportunity to bring you a couple of old interviews from 2001 that I did during
my time at a local public access station. I am extremely proud of these interviews
and I hope you dig them.
On this episode, I am presenting a chat I had with one of my
most favourite musicians ever, Bill Frisell. He is one of those few musicians
whose style is instantly identifiable. Regardless of whether you’ve heard a
particular tune or not, you KNOW it’s Frisell when you hear the music play.
He’s known as a jazz and country player, but also as someone who loves sonic
experiments. He’s been a session man for many (including Marianne Faithfull,
Elvis Costello, and Ginger Baker), written the music for the Far Side animated
series as well as for new scores for Buster Keaton films, and played with
multiple ensembles of his own.
Since this interview was recorded, he’s recorded many more
albums and has toured Australia (the question of a tour is brought up in the
chat). In 2001 he put out two brilliant albums (including one with Elvin Jones,
drummer for John Coltrane!!!!!) He was a charming and very humble interview
subject. I loved having this chat, and I hope you dig it too.
Bruce Wooley and The Camera Club is the focus of Eric Reanimator’s “Album I
Love” segment. He talks about their album English Garden. “Who are they?” you
ask. “Have they done anything I’d know?” Abso-bloody-lutely. Eric will reveal
all.
