The Fine Art Of Playing The Guitar (XVIII): Bill Frisell · GUITAR IN THE SPACE AGE!
Guitar in the Space Age! isn’t really an exercise in nostalgia, but about a re-commitment to keep learning, to firm up the foundation.
“On this album is some of the music I was hearing growing up in the ‘50s and early ‘60s,” notes Frisell. “There is so much history. Back and forth. Before and after. It’s impossible to pin things down. That’s the beauty. We all learn from each other. When I listen to Jimmy Bryant, I know he must have listened to Charlie Christian, and The Ventures heard Chet Atkins, and Chet Atkins listened to Johnny Smith. It’s like a kaleidoscope. You look at one piece of music, and it immediately shoots out into all these directions. All these beams of light cut through whatever words are used to try to box it in.” As a baby boomer who came of age in the 50s and ‘60s, there is an undeniably autobiographical element to the tenor and tone of the repertoire which Frisell explores on GUITAR IN THE SPACE AGE! along with long-time collaborators Greg Leisz (pedal steel & electric guitar), Tony Scherr (acoustic bass and electric bass guitar) and Kenny Wolleson (drums and vibraphone).
Faszinierend, wie Frisell erklären kann, welche politische Bedeutung zB ein harmloses Lied wie "Surfer Girl" hatte (und vielleicht noch haben kann, wenn man es versteht); - Frisells Gedanken zum Zusammenhang von Geschichte und Musik sind unbedingt hörenswert (geboren 1951 wie die Fender Telecaster und ich, spricht er vom "Golden Age", wie Hobsbawm die Zeit von 1950 - 1970 nennt) . Wie seine Interpretation von Klassikern wie "Rumble", "Telstar" und vor allem " Turn Turn Turn":
Aus der Zeit, von der Frisell redet, stammt auch ein tolles Album von PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS Just Like Us! (1965).
Paul Revere ist kürzlich im Alter von 76 Jahren gestorben.
+ Zugabe: Am Ende des goldenen Zeitalters begann musikalisch ein anderes space age und zwar At The Court Of The Crimson King. Ganz aktuell, sehr crimsonish: Schnauser 'Protein for Everyone' - Album Preview :
