This is my favorite Frisell record as well.

I've been listening to the duo with Fred Hersch again.
He has a way of defining a piece so each time I think of that piece, it's Bill's version I hear.

Anyone get the new cd w/ the Lennon songs? I just got a few days ago and am kind of undecided. Have to give it some more listening.

I didn't even know there was one. Here's a link:

Amazon.com: All We Are Saying...: Bill Frisell: Music

Listened to a couple of clips; interesting song choices. I'll need to pick it up to see how I feel about it. It seems like all the songs fit a certain genre of Lennon tune, the exception being "Please Please Me".

Gotta say there has never been a Frisell CD that comes even close to a live performance. That being said, I do really like hearing Bill's take on songs that meant so much to me. In some ways it's harder to take songs with such ionic value and make them your own. These are all Bill. All John Lennon. I can't wait to see this done live.

I love his folks songs #1. He does a Shenandoah for Johnny Smith. So simple hard so haunting.

I couldn't figure out how to embed this, so here it is as a simple link:

Anyone seen All Hat? The movie with Rachel Leigh Cook? Or Finding Forrester? With Sean Connery? Bill does the soundtracks.
Check out him doing the Universal Theme Song:

The entire Finding Forrester movie owes a lot to Bill's moody guitar sound. Check it out.

There were two movies Ghost Town released in 2007-2008. Very different movies but I couldn't find any mention of Bill in either of them. That may not necessarily mean anything but it's enough to discourage me from getting the DVD to check it out. Where did you hear about this?

Bill is amazing. He is in another world.

His style is not flashy. Rather, it is droning, repetitive and embellishing.

Like Pat Metheny, he appears completely immersed in his performances and is highly expressive.

I wish Bill would use a whammy bar instead of bending the guitar neck so much.

Regardless, he's absolutely one of my favorites.

He used to play an SG. He played the body like a whammy. Hold a note and push the body and pull the neck. The whole guitar whammied.

Default Cheers for Bill
Yes of course I love Bill Frisell. His music is unique, exciting and hard to classify. What's not to like?

I'm not saying what jazz is or not, but this is hauntingly beautiful music. Thought I'd share it. Bill and Marianne Faithfull.
