Bill Frisell has worked with a lot of fantastic bass players over the course of his career, but there’s been something special about his work with the young Thomas Morgan. On this heartrendingly beautiful live album (recorded in the intimate environs of the Village Vanguard), Frisell and Morgan are playing as a duo, running through jazz standards, country favorites like “Red River Valley” and “Wildwood Flower,” film music, and a couple of Monk compositions. No originals — just loving interpretations of tunes that you’ll never hear the same way again.
