Bill Frisell~Strange Meeting/Somewhere Over The Rainbow

[scootyjazz]

Mind blown.

[ovaljimmy]

I had only seen Bill play this particular instrument while standing until now.

[ovaljimmy]

NOW I SEE why the guitar has the shape it has! I love the way that it fits the player, it accommodates a very relaxed playing position while sitting down.

Башню рвёт... More than such music!!!

[danlovesnan]

AMAZING!!! this is life!!

[ericfontainejazz]

note to self: learn this song

[sachary]

sorry folks, I can't bring myself to really listen to this stuff. The beginning was very calm and relaxing, beautiful solo jazz guitar, I liked where he was going with it. But the whole constant crazed delay effects to me is just a guitarist indulging in his own coolness--- which is awesome if you're the guitarist! but for me, eh. So can somebody direct me towards some "must hear" Frisell stuff? preferably some stuff that shows his more traditional sound i guess.

[amarr1]

@sachary "traditional"? As in 5 minute solos? Lulza.

[sachary]

@amarr1 i guess traditional jazz.  if he does any straight ahead, etc. I've recently found some good stuff, just got to get used to his unique style.

[bennettrw87]

@sachary watch his la la means I love you on youtube, and listen to egg radio, verona and keep your eyes open. those are great tunes

[danlovesnan]

@sachary

my favorite Frisell's CDs: "good dog happy man" and "blue dream"

He's just amazing...

[adrianscally]

I did so not want that to end...

That is absolutely hypnotic.

[haimcito]

it's just incredible, specially somewhere over the rainbow, what an imagination. great,great,great!!!!!!!!!

[UmberCasella]

it is really this bill frisell a visionary poet....a genius

[brunsmike59]

Wow. Thanks for this. I love this era of Frisell and what a serious blast of music. What a sound he has on this. He's a tone master in general, but this video really gets that.

[CharlesDickens99]

What era of Frisell is this? Is there a representative album? Is this piece on a disc?

This is quite repetitive like the music of Philip Glass only much more interesting.

[bayouhazard]

I'd listen to others for representative album. I've gotten to him a bunch live and I loved his band from then (and always really). He doesn't play much solo that I know of. The Frisell Trio live from this period is great. The one with all the covers "Have a Little Faith" is great. There's just a ton of Frisell out there, much of it great.

[agudelomusica]

"ghost town" is his solo guitar album. This tune appears on "Bill Frisell Live" and probably in other albums as well

[dakcz]

You can find Strange Meeting on Rambler, This Land or Bill Frisell with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones albums. And maybe somwhere else of course :-)

Anyway enjoy his fantastic music. I do ;-)

[monkeykingrecords]

It just never ends with Bill. he is so amazing and writes such beautiful material. Thank you so much for posting this very intimate and unique clip of Bill.
