Kapell Frisell - Kapell Frisell

Review by Meghan Miller

Kapell Frisell, the self-titled album by the duo of Swedish pianist Bengt Hallberg and American guitarist Bill Frisell, is a stunning showcase of their musical prowess. The album is a mix of jazz standards and original compositions that seamlessly blend together to create a cohesive and engaging listening experience.

Frisell's guitar work is masterful, with his signature blend of country, blues, and jazz influences shining through on tracks like "Benny's Bugle" and "Lush Life." Meanwhile, Hallberg's piano playing complements Frisell's guitar perfectly, adding depth and complexity to the arrangements.

The duo's chemistry is evident on every track, with each musician playing off the other's strengths and pushing each other to new heights. The album's slower, more introspective tracks, such as "I'm a Fool to Want You," showcase the duo's ability to create a mood and evoke emotion with their music.

Summary by Meghan Miller

Kapell Frisell is a must-listen for fans of jazz, guitar music, or just great music in general. The album is a testament to the skill and creativity of both Hallberg and Frisell, and a reminder of the power of collaboration in music.
