Yes, he sure does. My sense of it is that his group is as loyal as say, Naked City fans, but the group is MUCH larger. I've run into several people just in day-to-day life that are huge Frisell fans. Can't really say that about Zornlisters. That said, Frisell may well lose some of those guys with the direction he's going now. I suspect that this CD might be the end of the line for the Americana thing. Bill is playing a lot now with his Intercontinental Quartet. That band includes a Vinicius Cuantaria from Brazil, Sidiki Camara from Mali and Christos Govetas from Greece. They're recording a CD this spring/summer. - Dave NP: Comfort and Joy, Clive Gregson
But, somebody said he really liked the CD with Holland & Jones, so I'm wondering: Does he have a new group of hardcore fans, far away from Zornlist land??
