Back in October 2001, Jack DeJohnette had a day off during a tour with Keith Jarrett. So he seized the opportunity for a duo concert with guitar visionary Bill Frisell, at the Earshot Festival in Seattle. Some time passed before the two greats listened back to the tapes. Satisfied, they resolved to prepare the material for release.
"The Elephant Sleeps But Still Remembers" stands as a milestone work for both artists who are known for their freedom in creativity. It echoes their most famous projects while pointing the music in a forward direction.
