oblgny, and, Frisell plays in so many different musical settings/environments---hardcore Jazz, soundtracks, Americana, Country, Singer/Songwriter. He did an album with drummer Jim Keltner and bassist Viktor Krauss (Lyle Lovett) entitled Gone, Just Like A Train that is great, and has a new, all-instrumental album (Guitar In The Space Age!) that is really cool. Bill and Ry Cooder are probably my two favorite living guitarists. Such a shame that Danny Gatton committed suicide---he was a guitar genius.
Greatest rhythm sections
The rhythm section in a jazz, blues or rock band provides the foundation and motive force for the entire ensemble. The truly great ones not only establish the band's sonic signature, they can generate new styles. Which rhythm sections do you think have been the most influential in their respective genres, and, or changed the way you listened to music? Please try to limit your selections to groups and not individual musicians as it the ensemble sound I'd like to get your comments on.
