The 2008 release from Jim McAuley.

Jim McAuley's The Ultimate Frog is a two-CD collection of duets between the guitarist and four great musicians: the late†Leroy Jenkins (violin, viola), Nels Cline (Wilco/guitar), Ken Filiano (bass) and Alex Cline (drums/percussion). The result of these pairings is a diverse and richly textured set of music, which includes quick-witted open improvisations, freeform folk and blues tunes, aching ballads and earthy modal pieces. The Ultimate Frog is a long-overdue collection of work from this too rarely documented master guitarist.

"Genuinely evocative and revreshingly clishe-bashing work." - Los Angeles Times

"...McAuley turns the guitar into a mood-altering and mind-bending instrument..." - Cadence Magazine
