Jazz Review: Bill Frisell’s Americana Dreams

Bill Frisell and his quartet performed a program of well-worn American hits whose juxtapositions allowed you to make your own cross-references and draw your own conclusions.

Fuse Jazz CD Reviews: John Scofield’s “Überjam Deux” and Dave Holland’s “Prism”

Fuse Jazz CD Reviews: John Scofield’s “Überjam Deux” and Dave Holland’s “Prism”

Dave Holland’s Prism tells stories, several of which are very effective. Scofield’s, like his earlier Überjam releases, extends the jam-band esthetic into jazz without completely giving in to it. And neither of them would be as they are without the great looming shadow of Miles Davis.
