Rambler (Bill Frisell album)
Rambler is the second album by Bill Frisell to be released on the ECM label. It was released in 1985 and features performances by Frisell, trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, tuba player Bob Stewart, bass guitarist Jerome Harris and drummer Paul Motian.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "This relatively early set from Bill Frisell is a fine showcase for the utterly unique guitarist. Frisell has the ability to play nearly any extroverted style of music and his humor (check out the date's "Music I Heard") is rarely far below the surface. This particular quintet (with trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, tuba player Bob Stewart, electric bassist Jerome Harris and drummer Paul Motian) is not exactly short of original personalities and their outing (featuring seven Frisell compositions) is one of the most lively of all the ones in the ECM catalog."
