NTTR - No Time to Review

Bill Frisell's Orchestras is an expansive double album that 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 features the nearly 60-piece Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by Alexander Hanson; the other includes the 11-piece Umbria Jazz Orchestra, under the musical direction of Manuele Morbidini. The album showcases a level of comfort and interactivity that far transcends the vast majority of “with strings” projects on the jazz record shelf. Gibbs’ sweeping orchestration, with its shades of Gil Evans and landmark film scores, moves nimbly within and around the trio’s telepathic rapport, and Frisell’s shimmering trademark tone melds gorgeously with strings and brass.

Milton + Esperanza is a remarkable collaboration between two extraordinary artists, blending the ethereal sounds of Brazilian jazz with modern chamber jazz elements. The album features reimagined classics from Nascimento's extensive catalog, like "Cais" and "Morro Velho," alongside innovative new compositions. Spalding's bright, fluid voice contrasts beautifully with Nascimento's seasoned baritone, creating a mesmerizing interplay that brings out the best in both. Tracks like "Outubro" and "When You Dream" showcase their deep musical connection, making this album a vibrant celebration of Nascimento's legacy and Spalding's inventive spirit​ ( PostGenre - Music beyond category ) ​ ( UNCUT ) .
