Always appreciate that Bill, known as a jazz player, is comfortable playing triads. He doesn’t have to show his chops with complex harmonies to show his prowess.

He just plays what sounds right for the piece he’s playing and he does it so damn well.

It's really such a beautiful session, and not just because of the music. Frisell is the master, and it's so clear that he's passing on the flame to a new generation in Morgan. Morgan's mix of amazement, awe, shyness and humility is really humbling to see. He's great, and he's worked harder than most can imagine to get there, and Frisell sees him as a musical peer and is offering him guidance. And Frisell is not a talker. So you have two guys who communicate way better in public with music, and Morgan is being asked to publicly acknowledge his musical equality to Frisell -- which is both clear to anyone who hears the music, and also, I'm sure, absurd to Morgan since Frisell is, well, Frisell. And Bill underscores Morgan's talent by calling "Pearl" and crediting Morgan publicly as a composer. It's just great to see the passing of the torch like this, and Morgan is truly worthy and will surely continue to be up to the task. And someday he'll be there with some kid and he'll be doing the talking. And then they play... Just fantastic. Anyone who can't see the humanity in the interaction, in all its awkwardness, is really missing something beautiful in the music as well. It's that earnestness that comes through.

Bill Frisell, you probably don't know this, but you inspire me more than any other guitarist. I first met you in the practice rooms before you played at my college. This was around the time I had discovered your work and my enthusiasm for your musical landscapes. Then to discover you were playing at my school and to get to actually meet you was incredible! Thank you for signing my records and thank you for years of inspiration.
@bjorndavid74105 жыл бұрын
Bill Frisell really knows what he doesn't want to talk about. He has a masterful knowledge of the fretboard and an awesome sense of rhythm, the perfect blend of talent and training, an enviable position. I see it as a sort of spiritual prowess, really, and anyone can make good music if the balance of the know how and the being there is right.
@jeezmunki4325 жыл бұрын
I saw Bill in vancouver with his 858 quartet, and he was to give a 10 minute discussion before. He talked for the entire hour right until he went on, and he seemed comfortable and relaxed: this is how he talks, which struck me as being very thoughtful considered and Highly Intelligent. He thinks clearly about what he is saying and makes everyones question seem important because of the thought behind his response, and I cant help seeing a clear relationship to his playing, which embodies all these characteristics.

I love John Barry too. He'd be impressed. A musician who plays guitar, rather than a guitar player who plays music. What a fabulous duo. Gobsmacked. He obviously doesn't know how good he is. Fcuk.

I agree. I find myself in this situations more often. You know, where I have a difficult time to find the words to answer or explain something that means a lot to me, is like my mind gets mangled and shut trrying to find the words that could aproximate an explanation. Thing is these guys don´t have an agenda, like, "hey let´s be upbeat and energetic with our answers so we can sell more records". They are pure artists.
@PabloskyS845 жыл бұрын
Yeah, is like the opposite when you think about the late shows, where everybody must be funny and make good jokes. Nothing against making jokes but it feels kind of unnatural. About the difficult that you mention. I think that there are two keys. The first one has to do with leaning to be calm, and don't feel anxious or pressure when you are chating and the second key is about geting in touch with your spontaneity that whe all have. Everyone have automatic thoughs when we talk, but not everybody can access that spontaneity and is about that... I would close the idea in other way but my english is reaching its limits xP Salutes!
