Beautiful Dreamers is an album by Bill Frisell which was released on the Savoy label in 2010.

[2] In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek noted that, "While this trio is well known for using various effects in concert to expand its sonic palette, and jamming on various tunes for long periods of time, here the musicians are virtually a mirror image of that incarnation, playing with restraint, brevity, and melodic sensitivity...

[3] Writing for All About Jazz, Troy Collins stated, "Ethereal and spare, with periodic interludes of spry activity, the sixteen tunes that comprise the album are models of brevity and sonic restraint—yet hardly indicators of the trio's expansive diversity, as suggested by contemporaneous concert reports... Beautiful Dreamers fits seamlessly into the arc of Frisell's oeuvre, opening a new, albeit familiar chapter in his discography".

[4] JazzTimes's Bill DeMain observed, "this record doesn’t really sound much like jazz as much as compelling, emotionally resonant, genre-free music.

But after decades of trodding such a brave and singular path, maybe Frisell deserves his own genre.
