A very long time ago when I was pretending at Berklee, an incredible bass player friend of mine asked if I wanted to see him play. Little did I know he was playing with Bill, tiny little club it was an eye/ear opener. There were those that were destined for greatness he was obviously one of them. Wonderful is all to say
Bill’s music is a true treasure. We caught the Harmony tour in a very small venue about a week before the pandemic blew up in early 2020, and that show was just other worldly. For those who haven’t seen him live, please do so at your earliest convenience and you will NOT be disappointed!
To me, a great artist is one you recognize from the first note. You knew Miles. You knew Coltrane. You knew Abercrombie. You knew Jim Hall. You know Scofield. They have a sound and approach that defines them. Frisell is that way. I don't have to watch a video to know it is him; it is wrapped up in his tone (that R&B and Country feel will always be there), how he uses space and time, and the material he chooses to tackle.
true!! greats have THEIR sound. dont mind technique. we recognize a great one from the notes he's playin. they are unique. problem is when you copy a great one you have same sound.lol ciao from italy
@@danielstoddart remember frisell synth solos with scofield and marc johnsson? crazy!hall would NEVER play that!! frisell is changed a lot dont know why. not only older. ciao
remember Frisell in a lot of records expecially ECM record of BASS DESIRES with M. johnson and JScofield.an incredible recording sound and a Frisell passionate And psychedelic with Synth guitar,together with a great Sco,what a solo in resolution, powerful johnson. and the perfect Erskine. ciao from Italy!
Once I've asked a young trained and talented guitar player who his favorite player would be. He didn't hesitate: ""Bill Frisell". That was when I started looking (listening) and paying attention.
Few people really speaks only what they should , no nonsense..few words and phrases to the point..for me they are Lee konitz (saxophonist) bill frisell and rale micic ..(guitarist)
Rudy Royston, drums. Thomas Morgan, bass. Basically Bill's trio for the past decade. Both just sensitive as can be. Rudy Royston is probably my favorite drummer today. And that's with Chris Dave, Mark Guiliana, Brian Blade, and a _bunch_ of heavy cats.
Hey, Victor's Places! Thank you so much for sharing this--I can never get too much of Bill Frisell. Could you identify the other two wonderful musicians in his trio?
Il y a beaucoup de musiciens qu’on peut aimer, puis se lasser. Ça n’est pas absolument pas le cas avec Bill Frisell, tant la musique qu’il joue ne s’encombre que de l’essentiel, sans artifices, ni effets..
He finds the essential notes, doesn't touch the other things that get in the way. I'm humbled each and every time I hear him.

I love Thomas Morgan: always plays contrapuntally to The guitar.
Wonderful sound and video production so tasteful. And of course the music is stellar.
Thank you and stay with us! We’ve got huge plans 😎
Remember Frisell with Naked City. The man can play anything and play it like no one else. Genius!
From Leng Tch'e to the Paul Motian trio...
Rudy Royston: dr. Thomas Morgan: b.
Thanks. Can't understand how the ones making up the band can't get a message in the description. Such disrespect.
Wow, excellent upload! Filming and the musician chemistry on this performance all are great!
Yeaaaah 😎
Tunes should be:
Isfahan
Holiday
Claude Utley.
❤❤❤❤❤
This is a brilliant trio of jazz alchemists working and playing to create sound magic in the spirit of Pandit Paul Motian.
He's got the coolest guitars

Recording sounds amazing, music is 1000times better. Thank you
We did our best! Thank you 😎
Cheers, Big Ears! Nice one. He goes there, where few tread. Thank God!
Saw Bill with Rudy Royston & Tony Scherr a couple of weeks ago at a small venue in Bellingham, WA. Sublime.
Own world. Not easy to establish. Courage.
Amazing recording. What a great trio!
We're of the same opinion! Stay with us 😎

You missed Marc Ribot. (I’m sure it was just a temporary oversight).
Bill's right hand technique is very, very similar to Jim Hall's. Obviously a big influence on him. Bill is still different in his own way, though...

This music is high emotional full of intensity
What a wonderful recording with BASS DESIRES!!
@@gaizkasalazar6948 the best solo ever heard from sco!!

He's unbeleivable! 😎

Dont forget Lage Lund!
Thanks for thiis Victor! High quality audio and video.
thank you for posting. Phenomenal! From, Brooklyn, NY
Thank you and welcome to the channel, we’ve got huge plans here 😎
Also Brooklyn here. Saw Bill at Prospect Park bandshell, he did a score for Buster Keaton, plus a weird pair of animations by Jim Woodring.
Superb!
This looks recent: just saw them last April at Freight and Salvage. Love “Holiday” @ 4:52
Excellent.
I've heard of this bloke - and the others, too… it is great oh yes
The word "Master" gets thrown around too liberally for my liking but Bill is absolutely a true Master of the guitar.
He is indeed a treasure.
ELITE MAN on the work ❤
great!
Merveilleux, merci!
Thank you for this gift ❤
Божественно!
Strange that you don’t mention the drummer or bassist in the description 🤷♂️
Looks like OP only responds if you tell them how good the recording is lol
Thomas Morgan on bass
Rudy Royston on drums
@@luxewav Thanks!
"Isfahan"! yes
Brilliant.
There are two other musicians too! I can see them! Why aren't them mentioned on the top? What are their names?
Rudy Royston, drums. Thomas Morgan, bass. Basically Bill's trio for the past decade. Both just sensitive as can be. Rudy Royston is probably my favorite drummer today. And that's with Chris Dave, Mark Guiliana, Brian Blade, and a _bunch_ of heavy cats.
What a tone!
Thanks!
You’re the best Julia 🥰
Hey, Victor's Places! Thank you so much for sharing this--I can never get too much of Bill Frisell. Could you identify the other two wonderful musicians in his trio?
I love the heart but who are the other two musicians in the trio?
I may have missed it somewhere, but when was this recorded? Stunningly beautiful!
9th of May, 2024. ZigZag club 😎
@@VictorVoytov Excellent! Thanks much! It is good to see that this phenomenal trio is presently touring!
@@VictorVoytov But this is obviously not ZigZag Jazz Club. Where was it recorded?
Isfahan ❤
W O N D E R F U L !
encatado...
The real slow hand
5:49 😮
Credit the other musicians!!! Geez! Royston and Morgan are essential to this performance!

Great recording. But can't you mention the players in the band?
Monk style
I think Bill Frisell accidentally did about half a dozen upstrokes with the pick.
Misty but not as we know it Jim!
Excellent music. Also, worst possible sponsor to interrupt the music at random. I mean, come on, a cartoon figure with a nasally voice?. Rude!
It's not music but a slow suicide...
Huh?
