BILL FRISELL POWER TOOLS
"LIVE IN KOLN 1988" DVD R
Recorded live in Germany, Koln, at Stadtgarten on September 3, 1988
Power Tools was sort of the Blind Faith of 80s jazz rock, a super group that put out only one album "Strange Meeting" in 1987.
Bill Frisell was the new jazz rock superstar on guitar via his work with Naked City and his solo albums, Ronald Shannon Jackson's militaristic drum-line approach revolutionized jazz rock drumming in his work with Ornette's Prime Time and bassist Melvin Gibbs was punk enough for gigs with Henry Rollins, and technical enough for Eddie Palmieri.
The three together were incredibly intense, but this trio was far from an avant- garde noise blowout, instead they were often capable of sublime sensitivity and tense calm.
This rare 1988 concert captures live the all essence and power of this beautiful trio!!!
Although the video quality is not comparable to the nowaday standards it is still very watchable (anyway better that the clips appeared on Youtube) and worth it.
