Garrett Coleman spent most of his adolescence crushing on Finn Sweeney - until that Ultimate Dream Guy image got obliterated during senior year. Garrett's since gone out of his way to avoid the sexy ginger, instead throwing his energy behind his dance career while supporting his mother through her cancer diagnosis. Finn Sweeney used to think of Garrett as just his kid brother's best friend, but after an intense exchange at a high school party, things got a little. weird. Despite that, when their two families decide to get together for the holidays for the first time in years, Finn can't say no. But he's fully prepared for this to be awkward as hell. When Finn and Garrett lay eyes on each other for the first time in their adult lives, all bets are off. Finn is completely captivated by Garrett and getting to know the man he's become is now his top priority. Playing catch-up with Finn makes Garrett truly see him beyond the childhood fantasy he's held onto all these years. Finn is real and vulnerable. and hot as hell. Garrett and Finn can't seem to keep their hands off each other, so they decide to bury the hatchet between them for the remainder of the visit. Beautiful Dreamer. Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee, Sounds of the rude world heard in the day, Lulld by the moonlight have all passed away! Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, List while I woo thee with soft melody, Gone are the cares of life's busy throng. Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea, Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie, Over the streamlet vapors are borne, Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn. Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart, Een as the morn on the streamlet and sea, Then will all clouds of sorrow depart, Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Carter. Reviews. When listening to Bill Frisell play, it’s easy to forget you’re hearing an electric guitar. Through touch, tone and voicings that are free of the usual six- string tropes, his instrument can sound, variously, like a pedal steel, a toy piano, a string quartet, a church bell, a plane in the distance, even a human voice. This remarkable gift continues to serve him well on his 29th solo album, whether he’s covering Stephen Foster (‘Beautiful Dreamer’), Benny Goodman (‘Benny’s Bugle’​) or Teddy Randazzo (‘Goin’ Out of My Head’​), or playing his own spooky, cinematic tunes like ‘Baby Cry,’​ ‘Winslow Homer’ and ‘Better Than a Machine.’​ The striking originality of the arrangements Frisell creates with viola player Eyvind Kang and drummer Rudy Royston can even transform ancient Tin Pan Alley fare like ‘Tea for Two’​ or ‘Keep on the Sunny Side’​ into something startlingly fresh and modern. Recorded at Fantasy Studios and produced by longtime collaborator Lee Townsend, this record doesn’t really sound much like jazz as much as compelling, emotionally resonant, genre-free music. Sure, it swings in places, and there’s some fiery improvisation. But after decades of trodding such a brave and singular path, maybe Frisell deserves his own genre. How about ‘friz'​? - Bill DeMain, JazzTimes (Oct. 2010) "Magical!" . Mike Hobart, Financial Times (London) Unlike any other project from Frisell or anyone else, the Beautiful Dreamers project redefines sonic beauty as much as it redefines the jazz trio. Not one to hold on to labels, Bill Frisell adds yet another idiom to his unique musical lexicon. - Andrea Canter, JAZZ POLICE. In the most understated way possible, Beautiful Dreamers ' special intimacy, quiet joy and constant sound of surprise represent a shift in Frisell's music. Moving away from project specificity and, instead, towards a consolidation of the guitarist's multifaceted interests, it's a beautiful way, indeed, to kick-start this relationship with a new label. - By John Kelman - All About Jazz. This Week's Best Albums: August 31, 2010 "There's little ground that guitarist Bill Frisell hasn't covered in his 30-year career, which has spanned country, folk, jazz, blues, film scores, and experimental music. And though each subsequent release is exciting and often unexpected, this new ensemble—featuring violist Eyvind Kang and drummer Rudy Royston—gives Frisell the chance to spread his reach ever that much further. Beautiful Dreamers presents the three splicing together Frisell's melodic phrasing, Kang's amorphous talents, and Royston's soft jazz drumming for a unique batch of originals and reinterpretations of classics, including takes on tunes by Benny Goodman, Stephen Foster, and Blind Willie Johnson." - by Scott Morrow , Alarm Press. On Beautiful Dreamers , Frisell uses works by Stephen Foster, Blind Willie Johnson, The Carter Family and Benny Goodman, along with Burt Bacharach-style pop, as springboards for wiry, bluesy, and distinctly rocking works of his own. The two sets of compositions co-exist on Beautiful Dreamers as musical cousins. Their stylistically familial ties surface with every listen. And Beautiful Dreamers is an album you will want to revisit often. There also is the matter of the trio that Frisell uses here, an industrious, bass-less ensemble that teams the guitarist with violist Eyvind Kang (a veteran of Frisell's 858 Quartet, Floratone and the extraordinary brass and strings group responsible for the 1996 Nonesuch triumph, Quartet), and drummer Rudy Royston (a comparative newcomer to the guitarist's recordings, although he has worked with Frisell protégés Jenny Scheinmenn and Ron Miles). Like so many Frisell groups, this trio unfolds its music with a sound that is light yet lush, in a manner that is purposeful but unhurried. The popular Foster-penned title tune floats about as an atmospheric ballet, as much on the wings of Kang's string work as the ambience that Frisell creates on guitar. That leads to an animated Frisell original called ‘A Worthy Endeavor’​ that picks up on the sort of playful, otherworldly tone of its predecessor, making the piece sound like a backdrop to a sort of abstract Americana cartoon. Frisell concerns himself, as usual, with textures more than outlandish (or unneeded) soloing. And so it goes for the duration of Beautiful Dreamers . Royston summons a tasty swing-like rumble as Frisell and Kang dissect the groove of Goodman's ‘Benny's Bugle’​, but not until the trio first navigates the airy, nocturnal side roads of the original ‘Baby Cry’​. Similarly, the '60s pop nugget ‘Goin' Out of My Head’ balances a plucky, pizzicato warmth and with nicely fractured rhythmic turns before Frisell's ‘Worried Man’​ clouds the skies with a militaristic beat and a solemn, thicker blues underpinning. But the highlight sits in the middle of the album with a Frisell original dedicated to the late songsmith Vic Chesnutt, titled ‘Better Than a Machine’​. In this dreamscape recording of Americana accents, the tune beams as a blast of bright, poppish sunshine. It's indeed the moment when the already attractive Beautiful Dreamers becomes even lovelier.

  • ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR-H1 REVIEW Mr.Headphoneer
    ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR-H1 REVIEW Mr.Headphoneer Introduction Acoustic Research is late to the Head-fi party. But it is not a new company. Acoustic Research is an old American brand, mainly known for their speakers. It was bought by the multi-brand consumer electronics company Voxx in 2003 and now focuses on headphones and portable audio players in addition to speakers. I must admit being a bit sceptic at first, given my unfamiliarity with Acoustic Research. But my scepticism was soon brought to sham. The AR- H1 gave a superb first impression. The build quality seems far above most headphones, regardless of price. They are lightweight and comfortable. The box they come in is quite compact, something I appreciate, tired of all those unnecessarily big and fancy “presentation boxes” that only fill up your closet and are of no use to (almost) anyone. Sound-wise, I was impressed too. The were open-sounding, engaging and snappy. Even though they have a up-front sound signature, I never was fatigued. After enjoying them for a while on their own, I started my normal routine of comparisons with relevant headphones and tried it out with various amplifiers. AR-H1 vs Sennheiser HD650 …with Mytek Manhattan II Azzaharat – Eple Trio: The AR-H1 feels crisp, clear, detailed, dynamic and neutral. The HD650 also sounds great, but less dynamic and airy. The AR-H1 has more and better deep bass. Montague Grant – Prins Thomas: The AR-H1 is punchy and snappy. It feels very organic with this track. The HD650 is not in the same league, it lacks the deep bass foundation and speed.

  • Bill Frisell Releases First Solo Album in 18 Years Music Is – Available March 16 on Okeh / Sony Music Masterworks
    BILL FRISELL RELEASES FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN 18 YEARS MUSIC IS – AVAILABLE MARCH 16 ON OKEH / SONY MUSIC MASTERWORKS Almost every day, Bill Frisell gets up in the morning, has some coffee, and writes music. At this point, there are piles and piles and piles of single pages of staff paper filled with his graceful script. “I don’t know where the melodies come from,” says Frisell. “I try not to judge anything and just let them be.” Frisell’s mantra, or motto so to speak, is, “Music is Good” – a statement said to him by his dear friend and great banjo player Danny Barnes. “That is something that I can say is always true. It’s so perfect. Everything I need to know is that phrase, ‘Music is Good.’ I almost called the album that, but then I thought that might be too literal. It’s good to leave it open.” Music IS – to be released March 16 on OKeh/Sony Music Masterworks – marks the first solo album from the master of his craft since the release of Ghost Town, released on Nonesuch 18 years ago. "Playing solo is always a challenge," Frisell says. "For me, music has all along been so much about playing with other people. Having a conversation. Call and response. Playing all by myself is a trip. I really have to change the way I think. In preparation for this recording I played for a week at The Stone in New York. Each night I attempted new music that I'd never played before. I was purposely trying to keep myself a little off balance.

  • A Conversation with Bill Frisell by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.Com
    A Conversation with Bill Frisell by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.com, 5/2003) As I mention to Bill Frisell in our following conversation about his music, the harder I dig, the deeper it gets. The tone painter has already covered so much ground that you’d need to write a book to adequately annotate his journeys to date. Perhaps like some readers, I’d heard lots about Bill Frisell for over a decade, but hadn’t actually heard his music. I knew what he looked like, knew he played one of those ergonomic Klein electric guitars, and that he must play some kind of jazz. Next to nothing, really. During the Kelly Joe Phelps interview, we had some very pleasant dealings with a West Coast production/mgt. company called Songline/Tone Field Productions. Lee Townsend is both producer and manager for Kelly Joe, Bill Frisell, and drummer Joey Baron, and has produced a long impressive list of quality artists, of several genres. Unusually enough, it was our contact with Lee and Phyllis Oyama at Songline/Tone Field that inspired me to finally investigate the recordings of Bill Frisell. I wasn’t prepared for how much I was going to love his music. I’m more of a song man than an instrumental person, though not exclusively. I love lots of jazz, but don’t listen to it that much in recent years. I like lots of world music, but don’t give it much time. (I mention all this not because I think my story is so interesting, but in case it may resonate with some of your audio habits.
