{"product_id":"frisell-bill-music-is-lp-71926200638","title":"Bill Frisell - Music Is (Gate) [180 Gram]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Music IS marks the first solo album from Bill Frisell since the release of Ghost Town, 18 years ago. The focus of the album is on the telling of musical stories from Frisell's original and inimitable perspective: some of the interpretations being naked, exposed and truly solo, while others are more orchestrated through overdubbed layering and the use of his unparalleled approach to looping. The pieces on Music IS range from his earliest jazz records from the mid-'80s to excerpts from recent multi-disciplinary collaborations. Recorded in August of 2017 at Tucker Martine's Flora Recording and Playback studio in Portland, Oregon and produced by longtime collaborator Lee Townsend, all of the compositions on Music IS were written by Frisell. Recorded in August of 2017 at Tucker Martine's Flora Recording and Playback studio in Portland, Oregon and produced by longtime collaborator Lee Townsend, all of the compositions on Music IS were written by Frisell. The end result is Bill Frisell at his most distilled and fully realized. Frisell has done so much. He's on well over 250 records, with over 40 of those as a leader. Frisell's mantra, or motto so to speak, is, \"Music is Good\" - a statement said to him by his dear friend and great banjo player Danny Barnes. \"That is something that I can say is always true. It's so perfect. Everything I need to know is that phrase, 'Music is Good.' I almost called the album that, but then I thought that might be too literal. It's good to leave it open.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePretty Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinslow Homer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChange in the Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Do You Want?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThankful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRon Carter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThink About It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRambler 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pioneers 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonica Jane 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiss You 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo Happy Lucky 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKentucky Derby 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to Shine 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRambler (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"837","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50560964329768,"sku":"871926200638","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3778875.jpg?v=1763984153","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/frisell-bill-music-is-lp-71926200638","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
