| Tony Scherr Come Around No Label Available Produced By Tony Scherr Recorded in Tony Scherrs Home This release is not available in stores, you might check at: www.dtmgallery.com (click on CD cover) Bill Frisell (guitar) appears on one track: 8/ Poor Katy's Car (2:40) Tony Scherr (voice, guitar), Peter Sherr (string bass), Kenny Wollensen (drums), Chris Brown (Organ), Various guest musicians including Briggan Krauss, Steven Bernstein, & Jenny Scheinman Recorded in a mere three days in Tony's home studio, Come Around has the intimate, intuitive, one-take atmosphere that only the closest-knit group of muscian/friends can achieve -- a precisely executed yet still spontaneous sound. Erstwhile drummer Kenny Wollesen, is supremely subtle and supportive, providing a superb backbone for Chris Brown's unfurling Hammond licks and the serpentine chimes of Tony's guitar. Tony's brother Peter rounds out the core group on string bass. Throw in the contributions of cellist Jane Scarpantoni (Tricky, Beastie Boys, REM) and Bill Frisell and you have a cast that can literally, legitimately be called world class. All of the extended concepts and techniques gleaned from Tony's work in the more adventurous corners of the NY music scene are here, but deployed in service of a stunningly fine-tuned pop sense. Scherr is able to capture that rarest of vibes -- music that references genres (country, rock, soul, blues, and jazz are all there) implicitly, and thus manages to sound utterly un-derivative. |
| Various Artists Around the Fire (soundtrack) Liquid City # LQC 37838 Produced by Charles Raggio/Chris Chappell Recorded at Bill Frisell (guitar) is a member of the film's "house" band, and appears (and co-wrote) on one track: 7/ State Dependent Thinking (Frisell/Smith) (1:30) "For me, the greatest thrill of the whole production of Around The Fire was sitting in a studio with Bill Frisell as he watched our movie and laid down incredible tracks for the scored scenes. He would let loose these amazing riffs and when it was over, he would just look up at us timidly and say, "Is that okay?" We would just look at him with our jaws on the ground and before we could really say anything, he would tell us that he wanted to try it again and get it right. It was just totally inspiring." -Tommy Rosen writer/producer |

| Dan Tyack and Friends Blackened Toast Label # DT 8688 Produced by Dan Tyack Released in 2000 Bill Frisell (guitar) appears/composes on one track, 10/ Can't You See (8:03) "This song was a very magical setting for making music. I have been a huge fan of Bill's for years, but we had never played together. The session worked this way: for the five days before the session, I was on a bike trip with my son’s school. We bicycled around the Puget Sound. I arrived (on a bike) thirty minutes before the session (I had done a session the day before the bike trip, and had left my equipment in the studio). So there I am-- Bill showed me the tune; we played it a few times (with the tape on), and the fourth take is what you hear. It was one of the most fun experiences I have ever had in the studio. OK, maybe the most fun."-Dan Tyack |
| Various Artists Owasso Night Atlas Released October 30, 2000 Bill Frisell (guitar,co-composer) appears on one (remixed by Fognode) track from Micheal Shrives 1995 Two Doors : 9/ “Orbiting Polly” (Michael Shrieve remix) "...It is more or less a remix of "Flying Polly" from the Two Doors/Fascination recordings, but there are some bits from other pieces on that record in there, as well as a section from Transfer Station Blue which is an older Shrieve release with Klaus Schulze and others. I used only sounds from those recordings and did lots of editing and processing to make the piece. I was inspired in a Miles Davis "Rated X" kind of style for that. Lots of tension. The "Orbiting" part comes with the way the piece progresses, as it seems to circle out and back, kind of like Apollo 13 slingshotting around the dark side of the moon to get back to Earth...
