Elvis Costello, Hey Clockface, 2020 on Concord Records
Elvis Costello's 31st studio LP out in 2020 on Concord. There are a couple of different recording sessions here with different bands, but Steve Nieve, Bill Frisell, and Nels Cline all make appearances here. "Hatty O'Hara Confidential" was a highlight when I saw Costello and Nieve at the Cabot last year. My copy—via Bull Moose Records in Plaistow NH—is the standard 2xLP on black vinyl with a gatefold.https://goatless.org/2026/05/17/elvis-costello-hey-clockface-2020-on-concord-records
Over the decades, I have seen drummer Joey Baron at least nine times: 1988: John Zorn's Naked City in New York 1989 (or so): Bill Frisell Trio in Philadelphia 1990: Naked City in Philadelphia 1996 (or so): Zorn's Masada Chamber Ensemble in Basel (maybe twice?) 2008: Masada Chamber Ensemble at
Frisell recalls his friendship with Quine, the New York City jam session that led to the guitar’s purchase, and the modifications that made it his own.
And then, as luck would have it, Bill Frisell! Matinee set back at Appel with totally different band and feel. Petra Haden, Ambrose Akinmusire and Tim Angulo creating more magic, vocals and all... Including the most haunting cover of Where Have All the Flowers Gone? imaginable.
So lucky to be able to catch 3 of his birthday shows. All unique in their own way, three lineups, three side of Frisell as a bandleader. A tryptych of Frisellian magic. Grateful!
