A Molde Concert by Arild Anderson released on ECM in 1982.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

"...Here, the bassist is joined by names which, though now celebrated, were still fledgling at the time: guitarist Bill Frisell (still seeking out his characteristic warble among the increasingly populated trees of the 1980s), pianist John Taylor, and ex-Weather Reporter Alphonse Mouzon on drums...

...After an elastic opening, “Cherry Tree” slingshots into a set consisting entirely of Andersen originals, save for the romping “Dual Mr. Tillman Anthony” (Miles Davis) that concludes the show. From the beginning, the breadth of arrangement is apparent, Frisell laying out embracing themes as Andersen and Mouzon work double time..."

I just saw the Bill Frissel Trio at the Union Chapel, London. They opened with a 60 minute improv/medley and finished with a fabulous version of What the World Needs Now. Breathtaking.
