  • On May 24, 2016, Matt Munisteri and Bill Frisell stopped by the Fretboard Journal for a very special Facebook Live session. Based on the great response we've received from this set, this is the improved camera and audio (non-iPhone) from that session.
    0:00 - "Jitterbug Waltz"
    6:05 - "Give Me the Roses While I Live"
    12:21 - "Old Folks"
    14:58 - "Goodnight Irene"
    20:30 - "Honeysuckle Rose"
    Matt and Bill originally performed together at the first Fretboard Summit (www.fretboardsummit.com). We're happy to announce that Matt will once again be at the 2016 Fretboard Summit in San Diego (October 14-16, 2016).
    Matt is playing a 1930 Gibson L-5; Bill is playing a vintage Gibson Hummingbird.
    We also have a podcast (Fretboard Journal Podcast #110) with these two musicians discussing the NYC jazz scene in the '80s, Ornette Coleman, influences, Bill's collaboration with Vernon Reid and much more.
    After this taping, Matt and Bill interviewed each other for a podcast that covered a lot of ground, incl. the NYC jazz scene of the mid '80s, Vernon Reid, Ornette Coleman and more. Listen to it here: www.fretboardjournal.com/podc...

    It's so stressful watching Bill play, but when I close my eyes it's so perfect.

    Great comments everyone! His acoustic gets that same shimmer that he gets with his electric. He always has that look of excitement and boyish grin, as if he is just as surprised and excited over the notes he plays. He plays the same way he speaks. Listen to him in an interview.He carefully chooses what he says, before he says it. There is pause and space when he talks, and that is exactly how his playing is. So beautiful.

    Bill Frisell has this way of making it look like he’s struggling to hit everything, when it’s actually coming so effortless.

    • @HugoYapIsHappy
      @HugoYapIsHappy 3 роки тому +5

      I think it may come off as struggling, but perhaps he's just being very thoughtful about everything he plays

      Yeah I’m the same, it just gorgeous playing, if you like Matts playing he has a band called the earregulars that have loads of videos on UA-cam. He really shines in a quartet.

    This is gold, one of best live playing I’ve heard, still listening to it after years of accidentally stumbling on these live playing trying to better my guitar playing, soon after I played “give me roses while a live” at my grandma’s house.. to remind myself to love her before she pass and show it to her. Even tho she didn’t know English or understood it. It was enough for me to remember to love her and carry her memories in my soul and being. She recently passed a couple days after my 2nd son was born. Her endurance and love for her grandkids are beautiful.. I’m happy to have seen her on her last day and catch her last breath, I believed that I have not fulfilled everything my grandma wanted for me.. but at least i bore two great grandkids.. that was the only thing I could have fulfilled, while she was alive

    Matt is a really great player, very precise and thoughtful notes. Then there is his L-5 that is to die for. I once had it's twin and wish I had kept it. The two of them are really a treat to listen to.....no flashy stuff, just elegantly played music that is way tasty.
