Much of the music here has been arranged for the quartet using themes originally written for film. Track 1, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 12 are from 'Tales from the Far Side' an animated television special created by Gary Larson. Tracks 3 and 13 are from the Italian film 'La Scuola' directed by Daniele Luchetti. Tracks 4 and 10 were written for the Buster Keaton film Convict 13. All compositions by Bill Frisell except 'Prelude' by Bill Frisell and Ron Miles. 'Bob's Monsters' and 'In Deep' borrow a lot from 'Deep in the Heart of Texas'. Published by Friz Tone Music (BMI).

With his indelible, elastic tone, restless curiosity, and open-eared approach to music beyond the traditional corridors of jazz, guitarist Bill Frisell is among the most prolific and continually surprising improvisers alive. Quartet is built around a typically inventive, typically off-centered Frisell lineup including Ron Miles (trumpet, piccolo trumpet), Eyvind Kang (violin, tuba), and Curtis Fowlkes (trombone) who draw from a sonorous palette. By avoiding a conventional rhythm section and piano, Frisell and his confederates create a group sound with the intimacy of small jazz group while tapping the timbres of chamber music; the material (which includes pieces composed for a TV special built around friend Gary Larson's "Far Side" cartoons) is equally beyond category.
