Have a Little Faithformat: cd
[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,68]
producer: Wayne Horvitz
label: Elektra Nonesuch - nationality: USA
Studio album by jazz fusion guitarist Bill Frisell following Where in the World? (1991) and Frisell's third consecutive album with producer Howvitz. Two members from The Bill Frisell Quartet contribute on this: bassist Kermit Driscoll and drummer Joey Baron - both are near stable instrumentalists on Frisell albums.
Normally, a new Frisell album means new original compositions by Frisell, however, in this case it's the selection of music based on what has inspired the artist himself. So, what you'll find here are new arrangements of American popular music ranging from classical music by Charles Yves, Stephen Foster and Aaron Copland to a list of music by modern popular songwriters and composers from a broad palette of styles and genres including Sonny Rollins, Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, John Hiatt, Madonna - all highly varied originals and all modernised in Frisell's jazz fusion-like arrangements.
I like it, it's really goood.
