| − | :I'm one of those people who had never listened to Mary Halvorson until someone who shall remain nameless got me looking into prolific women in jazz. I've included the subtitle, so the title doesn't mislead you into thinking this CD is ''all'' about Debussy. In fact, it is a tribute to a guitarist who once taught Bill Frisell "old fuddy duddy corny schmaltzy stuff". Frisell has since recanted this view and has dedicated songs and now, along with Mary Halvorson, an album to him. Described as a case study in "the bankruptcy of modern jazz guitar",<ref>Martin Schray (28 January 2019), [https://www.freejazzblog.org/2019/01/mary-halvorson-bill-frisell-maid-with.html Mary Halvorson / Bill Frisell – The Maid With The Flaxen Hair: A Tribute to Johnny Smith (Tadzik, 2018)] The Free Jazz Collective.</ref> it's ''ipso facto'' worth a listen, or even several. :)
