That’s a fantastic album, nothing tacky or cheesy about that one! Bill has several YouTube videos of live performances of tracks on that album, they’re great.
Not that I need to speak for anyone else but @weedeewop used the word “cheeky”, not “cheesy”. Very different meaning. And I agree with you that Bill Frisell is one of the most creative musicians around today. I can listen to his stuff for hours.

A most fine selection.

I just read-up about her in Wikipedia. This was her first album released in 1950, a No. 1 Billboard record and sold 500,000 copies initially and 1 million copies eventually worldwide!

Spilling over into show tunes on request. It’s nice. No limes so we’ll settle for Negroni’s, Hemmingway had it right.
