About

Bill Frisell’s expansive double album Orchestras documents two inspired concert-hall engagements arranged by Michael Gibbs for the guitarist’s trio with bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston: one featuring the nearly 60-piece Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by Alexander Hanson; and one with the 11-piece Umbria Jazz Orchestra, under the musical direction of Manuele Morbidini. Sweeping orchestration evoking landmark film scores and Gil Evans alike move nimbly within and around the trio’s telepathic rapport, and Frisell’s shimmering trademark tone melds gorgeously with symphonic strings and brass.

  • Bill Frisell on Michael Gibbs

    22nd May 2024by Barney Whittaker

    Following a string of recent UK dates, the American guitarist discusses the former mentor whom he had the privilege of working with on his latest album, Orchestras, as well as how he keeps his own beloved trio in such good order.

    Jazz Choice

July 2024

Always elegant, never effete, Frisell is on great form and is well-served by the arrangements and by the performances of his trio and the orchestras. The album is an utter delight, from the start of the first track (Gibbs’s mysterious ‘Nocturne Vulgaire’ – almost symphonic despite its brevity) to the end of track 16 (that heartfelt reading of ‘We Shall Overcome’.)
5 out of 5 stars

On this offbeat double album the versatile guitarist plays in two styles, with cinematic intrigue never far away.

May 2024

Now with the Brussels Philharmonic and Umbria Jazz Orchestra, the chance comes to hear where [Frisell's] imagination takes him when the big backrop is being painted by others.
