Bill Frisells expansive double album Orchestras documents two inspired concert-hall engagements arranged by Michael Gibbs for the guitarists 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. Sweeping orchestration evoking landmark film scores and Gil Evans alike move nimbly within and around the trios telepathic rapport, and Frisells shimmering trademark tone melds gorgeously with symphonic strings and brass.
