Jul 5, 2007 - with all his diverse projects, frisell covers so much musical ground in jazz and out of jazz. certainly one of the most intersting and compelling players around...

u89worlds mowi:

Aug 12, 2007 - ah, the cure has influenced the jazz musique.

arjunmusic mowi:

Oct 27, 2007 - this is probably the best trio in the world

rauldukeIII mowi:

Feb 9, 2008 - Great video and great tune. Thanks for posting it. Anyone know the bass player and drummer?

rauldukeIII mowi:

Feb 9, 2008 - Sorry. Didn't notice the names in the "About This Video" section...

toshbrice mowi:

Feb 17, 2008 - They recorded two albums but frankly I thought Ginger was out of his depth

peterscherr mowi:

Feb 21, 2008 - Hi Guys, it's Tony Scherr on bass and Kenny Wollesson on drums. These guys are wonderfully imaginative rhythem section players

guitarrazurda mowi:

Mar 20, 2008 - realmente fue una noche magica, ojala haya mas para subir ya que los de tribulaciones no pasaron mas que uno o dos temas

bradh57 mowi:

Oct 22, 2008 - Whats that synth in the backround, is it on a loop or is it some kind of effect on his guitar, an effect on his delay or something? it could be a the way it's recorded i guess or maybe I'm just hearing things. Does anyone know his setup and if he plays to a loop. It would seem very "un-jazz" to me if they were playing to a loop.

vitgit mowi:

Mar 18, 2009 - yes, Frisell often uses loops. un-jazz???what is jazz for you?

TharpaD mowi:

Mar 21, 2009 - Bill loops all the time in most projects. He's far from a jazz purist- you might call him the Grateful Dead of jazz- taking Americana and marrying the heart to the head!

davidaleksander mowi:

Apr 6, 2009 - Yes, but the octavy synth sound in the back is probably not a loop, if that´s what you´re thinking of. My guess is that it is a setting on his lexicon reverb as none of frisell´s other effects has an octave up thing to them, the other effects being, far as i know, line6 dl4, bossdelay of some sorts (DD4,5,6...), volume pedal and a digitech PDS-8000 echoplus digital delay sampler, and distortion (rat or tube screamer for the most I think).

davidaleksander mowi:

Apr 6, 2009 - actually bill not only uses loops, he creates them, which can´t really said to be un-jazz, or un-anything. Just really cool:-)

Gregorypeckory mowi:

Apr 15, 2009 - Well Bill vehemently defends himself from any such limiting labels as "jazz", or any other genre. He does play it sometimes, but moves freely between country, rock, jazz, surf, and no genre, or a mix of them. What they're playing here is definately not jazz, but that has nothing to do with it's validity. I love Frisell, but this particular performance doesn't do it for me. Whatever you want to call it.

arteffete mowi:

May 1, 2009 - Its probably the Line 6 dl4...record a loop with the half speed setting engaged, and when you return it to normal speed, it'd be twice the tempo and an octave higher.... He did use a whammy pedal, but i think that stopped in the '90's

oakmcgowan mowi:

Nov 13, 2009 - Loop or not, check out his right hand. He is playing two parts at the same time. Not the usual chord melody technique that just puts the melody at the top of the chord. Not classical technique either. He's arpeggiating with the pick and fingers and playing the melody mainly with the fingers. You get a good look at it around 2:18. At 2:41 he reaches to adjust a control on the delay or looper and the arpeggios stop

fodera6 mowi:

Feb 11, 2010 - Too bad the audio and video aren't lining up. Cool footage nonetheless.

jkidd05a mowi:

Feb 17, 2010 - I like all the simplicity in his music.

TrommerX mowi:

Mar 9, 2010 - Wer ist der Bassist ? (Kenny Wollesen am Schlagzeug)

chelobes mowi:

Jun 18, 2011 - I'm not into labels either but clearly if you have to come up with a genre for Frisell, it would be jazz. No getting around that one. I have to say that I saw this trio in summer 2009 and I was pretty disappointed in the show. I had never witnessed a featured player have zero interaction with the audience and he had his side or back to the audience the whole show. It was a WTF did I just witness kind of show. Give me Pat Metheny or Larry Coryell or DiMeola.

abrock31 mowi:

Jul 19, 2011 - I can't believe someone said they didn't like Bill because he doesn't interact with the crowd. When you can play guitar like he can, you don't have to interact with the crowd. Pretty amazing that someone with social anxiety as bad as Frisell is even comfortable playing in front of crowds

rsmeetsguitar mowi:

Oct 5, 2011 - Bill's one of my absolute favorites.. and yeah, he doesn't need to talk to the crowd- the music does that. He's a shy guy, so let the guy be (amazing). Thanks for the video!
