There's no better Frisell period than his Klein period!!! So good!

[@finarollerz]

I saw bill a few times in Oakland / Yoshi’s and he let me play the Klein. Such a sweet guy.

[@BrotherBrownMusic]

Mindblowing how well they compliment each other, some of the best guitar music I've heard in a very long time

[@deetee6339]

Kind of fell away from Bill Frisell to an extent and tripped over this which I haven't seen in a few years either. This show brings me back to the depth of his music. I've listened to several different orchestrations of 'Throughout' (I'm going by memory on that title.). This version is wonderful. Big Blues - again - great. Two like minds and it's a joy to listen to it.

I just Love this...

[@morkus26]

12:40 is a great moment. Look at Jim's rapid eye movements the way he says something to himself, maybe I'm reading too much into it but it almost seems like he thinks they're out of sync as Frisell's phrase is so well placed, dreamy with a dark finish placed just right.

[@rickartdefoix1298]

Like Jim Hall since Undercurrent and his other recording where he played with great Bill Evans. Love Jazz with a guitar in. 🆗✔️😔🙏

[@waloacme]

Magical

[@paranoidjones]

finally figured out that bill 90s kline guitar sound- its a pedal steel with frets. Thanks!

[@andybaldman]

Spooky. Beautiful.

[@axyshaysi]

For another awesome Throughout version check W.Muthspiel's trio

[@jopavel]

Ain't it also included Steady girl from Before we were born album? Klein guitar is the Bill's sound in my book, pitty that it desintegrated at some point..

👋

[@nitroxsam66]

They almost look like father and son jazz guitarists.

Goddamn Jim Hall/Bill Frisell, duo, i can walk out on my doorstep and get hit with a stray bullet when i wake up, totally fine if this is the last thing i heard

[@davide12345goddamn]

Anyone know the names of these tracks?!

[@crieverytim]

to think when they were recording this i was 11 years old and gushing over stuff like deftones, nirvana, queen, korn, metallica and bowie.

[@Steakfinger]

There's nothing wrong with that, especially Bowie and Queen. Have you heard Bill Frisell play Live To Tell by Madonna? He didn't do it to be funny, he did it because it's compelling piece of music.

[@reah7213]

@@Steakfinger yeah but the reason frisell prob doesnt cover any metallica or korn etc is cause they have no compelling melodies aside from works in general, in fact i cant think of a single queen song with a melody interesting enough to approach in this manner, well possibly one or two but, thats why you dont hear them play any of that because theres little to no content

[@NathanMaharaj]

@@Steakfinger I love his version of that song.

[@curtisbowland1272]

I would suggest you stop talking shit and listen. It won't hurt a bit, well maybe a little, you all seem fairly commited. Peace and Sounds ✌️ cj

[@davidbaise5137]

Somebody out there in cyber land - if you can explain how a journeyman jazz guitarist can afford to have that instrument….. and all the others (SG, several old Teles, a Klein) …..maybe he is a kept man, maybe he is heir to a fortune, who knows. Frisell sure plays nicely, irrespective of bank account.

[@Edfireman1]

Bills pretty famous. Constantly gigs and records. I expect he’s one of those few jazz musicians who actually earn a decent income.

[@Pladderkasse]

He's been quite successful over the years. He's got that mellow vibe somewhere between jazz, folk and pop thing going on, that many can relate to. Even if someone doesn't "get" his music, there's a nice relaxing atmosphere to it that's universally enjoyable.

[@nigamshahmusic]

First, I wouldn't describe Bill Frisell as a journeyman -- he is one of the most popular jazz musicians around. But even if he was, a "journeyman" indicates a working professional, not a starving artist. It is not that strange for a working professional to spend a couple grand on the tools of the trade every couple of years. A nice guitar is about the same price as a high-end laptop. The difference is, nice guitars only get better with age, so a new guitar every 2 years becomes 10 guitars over 20 years...

[@crieverytim]

i heard jim hall didn't listen to other guitarists because it intimidated him ...

[@crieverytim]

i think i googled the idea 'anxiety of influence' and was reading something that came up.

[@RazvanFilipCipca]

thanks for sharing this idea i looked it up and its quite interesting

[@tylerhammondjazzexperience]

Jim did this whole show from memory. Didn't listen to bill at all.

[@vhollund]

I don't think he was easily impressed He played and recorded with a bunch of legends all through his life

[@djangowoof]

Jim loved Bill's playing and also Julian Lage's. He listened to mostly saxaphone players. I think this kept his playing fresh and adventurous.

Think Frisell sounds way better playing other guitars than this Klein

[@twangbarfly]

Sounds great to me - it's all about the ideas .... they come steaming through whatever he plays...

[@ronmurray3338]

No evidence of actual thought...

[@jazzman1954]

Glad BF stopped playing that guitar. Over priced and nothing special.

[@twangbarfly]

Oh dear - who cares what he plays? It's almost all in his brain and fingers - and his amp and pedals. He can play whatever guitar he wants because it's always going to sound like Bill Frisell.... He just needs to play what feels best to him.

[@msimon976]

ridiculous.
