< ..I don't think it depends on the signature, Socrates ..... But now Happy N. B is in DeB and, slowly, even here word of mouth will do its job> What was I telling you, Socrates? ;)

Come on, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, wait!! You’ll have a hard time finding it anyway. I swear you'll get it. Then I’ll go take a look at the links, I'm in a hurry now. Bai bau.

4 months after your review, I'm listening to them. You've got pretty good taste, MegaFiko :))

Wow, great and abundant! Thanks, now I'll taste them.

Yes, Psycho, I know, I read them. In fact, my "call" was a bit generic. Bye.

P.S. 2: curious how the typo in the album title creates the presence of another great of the 20th century, Musil. :)))))

Here it is, Copernicus's post: ..I don't remember the date very well, I think it was November 1995, I usually keep all my concert tickets, but that was just a simple and anonymous SIAE ticket. Returning to the concert, it was special because the synergy of music and film was, for me, a novelty, if we set aside the discussion of soundtracks. Frisell was strictly dressed in black and was accompanied by the duo Driscoll, Biron, with a screen behind them showing three films by Buster Keaton. Complicating matters was the fact that at the time I didn't know the two works "The High Sign/One Week" and "Go West," precisely the two CDs that bear the titles of the three films of the Sad Clown; at first, everything seemed a bit difficult to me, I couldn't find the logic in it, the pieces were short and syncopated, jazzy yes, but it wasn't the Frisell of "This Land," which I had seen the year before at the Teatro Nuovo. Of course, the technical aspect I immediately grasped even then; what I didn't grasp was that what seemed like improvisation to me was actually a tremendous work of composition and music/film synergy. Perhaps I regret not having experienced one of Frisell's most beautiful periods with more awareness. - This comment was among those found in John Of Patmos's review of "I Have the Room Above Her," another excellent album by Paul Motian, Bill Frisell, Joe Lovano. Bye.

P.S. Fusillo, find a way to track down more Frisell records. There are some reviews on DeBaser that might come in handy. Cheers.

The other fool is a worshiper of Keaton. Some time ago, he suggested to another user, Copernicus, to review these discs, where Frisell does the excellent work described by Fusillo. Copernicus sent a comment that included the report of Frisell's live performance of this music with the screening of the films. If I can track down that comment, I'll post it here. Now there's also the excellent review. A devotee of Buster the King can only be immensely satisfied. I, of course, also recommend reading "A rotta di collo" and all his films. I particularly highlight the one with Samuel Beckett, (with Keaton's old face, which is an indecipherable epic in itself) which I believe is titled "Film". It's more than a recommendation; it's a gesture of affection towards TWO GREAT ONES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

But are they the ones who made that film with the Dandy Warhols? I think so, a sort of documentary, not bad at all. On that occasion, I had heard some live snippets, and they actually piqued my curiosity.
