Flipping Glorious

"Everything you might expect with these two in a room together with no distractions. Made my day. Get the Motian - Garden of Eden that they're offering too. Two of the best cd's I've heard in a long long time."
Only the best!

"I love Bill Frisell and Jack Dejohnette and I must say I was not disappointed at all. This is an excellent live duo recording of these two modern jazz giants. The ambience is atmospheric and really is on par with DeJohnette's greatest ECM work, and Bill Frisell's guitar has not sounded as good on any of his recent solo outings that have tended to be somewhat too tame in my opinion. Here at some points Bill Frisell really plays loud again. A big surprise since I had not heard of it until I found it today at Archambaud."
