The new album once again captures the rare empathy these two players achieve together in this intimate environment. There are further poetic takes on pieces from the duo's beloved Americana songbook (\"All in Fun,\" \"Red River Valley,\" \"Save the Last Dance for Me\"), as well as another intense version of a composition by Paul Motian (\"Mumbo Jumbo\"), an artist whom both the guitarist and bassist knew well. Frisell and Morgan communicate the essence of Billy Strayhorn's \"Lush Life\" and the Frank Sinatra hit \"In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning,\" so much so that the famous words seem to hang in the air even without a singer. At the center of the album is a pair of pieces by Thelonious Monk: the funky, angular \"Epistrophy\" and the ruminative ballad \"Pannonica.\" And as with \"Goldfinger\" on Small Town, Frisell and Morgan offer a glowing duo interpretation of a melody-rich John Barry title tune from a James Bond film \"You Only Live Twice.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll in Fun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWildwood Flower\/Save The Last Dance For Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMumbo Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Only Live Twice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLush Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpistrophy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePannonica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed River Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Wee Small Hours Of The Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602557701562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ecm Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.12.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42110469144651,"sku":"486141","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/3903948.jpg?v=1770181562","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/bill-frisell-thomas-morgan-epistrophy-cd","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
