 | | Who would've guessed that Down Beat's Jazz Album of the Year award would go to Bill Frisell for Nashville, a brilliant jazz-meets-bluegrass outing the guitarist recorded in the country capitol with a supporting cast composed of roots music's top session men. |
 | | Arguably Down Beat's most unlikely album victor in recent years, Nashville challenges the notion that creative improvisational music is restricted to the blues-and-swing zone. |
 | | Nashville also beat out a sumptuous feast of dual-leader projects, including Jacky Terrasson and Cassandra Wilson's Rendezvous, Ornette Coleman and Joachim Kuhn's Colors, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter's 1+1, and Doc Cheatham and Nicholas Payton's self-titled trumpet summit. |
