Bill I've been a music person and an amateur guitarist most of my life. You are my favorite guitarist and my favorite musician. You're sense of music is pretty different than others. You're phrasing, your experimentation...you are very very much like a painter. Sometimes pretty realistic, sometimes abstract, sometimes both. I saw you at a "meet the artist" gathering a couple years ago. I told you that my opinion was that it appeared as if you had never heard of other guitarists. You made a self-deprecating joke but I was serious. You seem unbound by what others have done; what is "proper". It's as if you grew up on Krypton, and someone dropped down a guitar and a bunch of records...Americana, blues, traditional jazz, rock, bebop, folk....and you just listened a lot and played a lot, never knowing that on other planets guitarists were doing certain things certain ways. And then you got on a ship to earth. Bill, that's one of the rarest things in art; having such a truly unique voice. Right? Not only instantly recognizable (when I hear a new song, the first two notes I know its Bill Frisell)...but also in what you have to say with that voice. You are a remarkable musician. What I consider the highest form of human being. Those that can express the best of our humanity back to us...true creativity. Your body of work is really astonishing. You have been a major force and a "companion" in my musical journey and my life for decades. Thanks Bill.

C'è troppo da dire su quest'uomo. Lo seguo da quasi 40 anni e gli ho dedicato decine di migliaia di ore della mia vita.Grande creatore dell'estetica musicale, innovatore ed esploratore, in questa performance dal pessimo audio ha fatto delle cosa di una bellezza incommensurabile. Bill, sono il tuo primo ammiratore da quel giorno che ascoltai la tua chitarra su un brano del compianto Lyle Mays e per me continui a restare un mistero: ti amerò sempre e ti seguirò per tutta la vita che mi auguro possa essere lunghissima.
Bill your subtle playing and Phrasing is so inspiring. I have seen you perform several times and cant wait to see you again after all this COVID mess is over...
I know this is 4 years later haha but the second song is "Levees." It's one of Bill's tunes. He has a version on his album, Valentine. I posted the whole setlist in a comment.
@@zbs2363 in the interview Bill referred the performance of Little Jimmy Smith that moved him to dive into this song agian... give it a try it is fantastic!
