East/West is the 18th album, first double CD and first live album by Bill Frisell to be released on the Elektra Nonesuch label. Released in 2005, it features performances by Frisell, Viktor Krauss and Kenny Wollesen which were recorded at Yoshi's in Oakland, California on May 8–11, 2003 (CD 1 – West) and performances by Frisell with Tony Scherr and Kenny Wollesen recorded on December 9–12, 2003 at the Village Vanguard in New York City (CD2 – East).[1] [2] An additional second set of material from both the "East" and "West" venues was made available as a downloadable album Further East/Further West.[3]
The AllMusic review by Sean Westergaard awarded the album four stars, stating, "The group improvisations also add a bit of spark. Folks who discovered Frisell in the late '90s with albums like Nashville are going to love this set".[4]
