this is a perfect example of beauty in simplicty. he's doing all this beautiful playing over a simple loop. i was very moved by this.

So I have posted this idea on a couple other threads.

If the human race faces obliteration and we can save one American guy to teach the survivors music, I vote for Bill. Clear, inventive, no pretense.

Anybody second my nomination?

I think I would listen to a lot of Bill in a post apocalyptic scenario... He plays with this sad kind of beauty.

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

naked city ;)

whats so deceiving about bills playing is sustaining those notes is HARD and requires skill and smarts! its one thing to play them, but to hold them and release them musically, like on a piano, thats finesse

Check out Frisell with Ginger Baker's trio. charlie Haden on bass. Ginger Baker (the ex-Cream drummer) and Charlie Haden are fantastic. There are a couple of good clips on youtube and be sure and check out their 1993 album Going Back Home. Great stuff.
