History, Mystery

History, Mystery is the 20th album by Bill Frisell to be released on the Elektra Nonesuch label.[1] The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "Frisell's inherent love of formal lyricism, expansive harmonics, and divergent musical histories reflects his tireless passion for tracing sources.In composing his own material, he also interprets and arranges his sources.On History, Mystery he achieves musical alchemy; he creates something new from familiar, exotic, and even forgotten forms, providing listeners with a magical aural experience".[2] All compositions by Bill Frisell except as indicated.
