Guitarist Bill Frisell’s new double LP Orchestras documents two inspired concert-hall engagements arranged by Michael Gibbs for Frisell’s long-standing trio with bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston: one featuring the nearly 60-piece Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by Alexander Hanson; and one with the 11-piece Umbria Jazz Orchestra, under the musical direction of Manuele Morbidini. But as with so much of Frisell’s music over the past four decades, a relatively straightforward concept and a familiar songbook yield quietly stirring revelations. The music showcases a level of comfort and interactivity that far transcends the vast majority of “with strings” projects on the jazz record shelf. Sweeping orchestration evoking landmark film scores and Gil Evans alike move nimbly within and around the trio’s telepathic rapport, and Frisell’s shimmering trademark tone melds gorgeously with symphonic strings and brass.

AllMusic Review by Matt Collar

Guitarist Bill Frisell marries intimate parlor jazz lyricism with wide-screen orchestrations on his lushly realized 2024 double-album Orchestras. Produced by Lee Townsend, the LP is culled from a handful of concerts Frisell gave from 2021 to 2022; the first with the 60-piece Brussels Philharmonic conducted by Alexander Hanson, and the second with the 11-piece Umbria Jazz Orchestra under the musical direction of Manuele Morbidini. All of these feature arrangements by the esteemed British composer/arranger Michael Gibbs and find Frisell joined by his trio with bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston. Frisell's playing has always been a dichotomy; intimate and folky one minute and wide-swinging with spectral harmonics the next. He can play dissonant with an open-ended free jazz intensity, yet he often sticks to melody, lovingly eking out the sparest lullaby. He brings both of these sides together throughout Orchestras, often expanding upon songs he'd previously recorded in small group or solo settings on past albums. The first disc with the Brussels Philharmonic is more traditional-sounding and features warm renditions of Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life" and Gibbs' "Sweet Rain," both of which recall the classic '60s orchestral jazz collaborations of Miles Davis and Gil Evans. There's also an exuberantly rootsy take on Frisell's "Rag" that nicely expands the whirling tune into a grand, cinematic cowboy waltz that sounds like Ennio Morricone taking on a song by Johann Strauss II. The second disc with Umbria Jazz Orchestra is more angular in tone as Frisell digs into the stormy modalism of "Lookout for Hope" and offers a spooky chamber take on his classic "Strange Meeting." Interestingly, there are two versions of Ron Carter's "Doom" presented, one with each ensemble and which illuminate subtle differences; the Brussels Philharmonic version sounding like a lost film noir theme and the Umbria Jazz version like a spare deconstruction of said theme. As a soloist, Frisell himself often leans toward deconstruction, as on "Beautiful Dreamer," where he solos first, scribbling out hints of Stephen Foster's folky tune before joining in with Brussels Philharmonic at the end for a deeply felt sing-along-style rendition of the melody. Rife with moments of artfully sustained anticipation, Orchestras is one of Frisell's most accessible and virtuosic recordings.
