[matteogazzolo]

It seems like he is discovering phrases and chords in the exact moment he plays them. He gets so enthusiastic that he expresses his joy going on playing more and more. Those who listen feel that smile of surprise at each note. That's pure magic.

[rogerkunkel]

This brings me to the edge of tears. Then I find myself smiling. Then I want to practice.

[joefranz]

I could listen to this for hours. No one plays with the taste and restraint of Bill. I hope I can see him play one day.

[BrianSiskind]

This is the diametric opposite of being in a Guitar Center.

I live in a sleepy town in Canada. By some miracle Bill played a show here about 10 years ago and completely blew our minds.. easily my most memorable musical experience

[Kubooxooki]

The last thing I expected to see around this calm, relaxing music, was a statue of Sam Kinison screaming from a desk :-)

This music is a gift. Thank you for sharing it!

[geofflb]

I use the same straplocks. And a Tele. No other resemblances...

Thanks Bill.

[atarirob]

Bill is still the best. No man carries a track solo like him, it's just flawless.

[nilspeereboom]

Very beautiful! A bit late to the party

[bobbysbackingtracks]

We are listening and watching pure genius.

[EdgardoBalduccio]

A real master of the jazz guitar. And unique. Thank you for this, Bill.

[matureyoungman]

know nothing about music but this is chill af (as my son says)

[philconnors]

Soundtrack to all my lost keys, forgotten passwords, books ppl borrowed from me, unanswered questions.

[robertbodle]

This is wonderful but my attention wanes in and out - not from the music but from the current state of affairs. And the melodies and playing bring me back to attention of what's good in the world. thank you.

[austinpeters]

a national treasure. unbelievable music!

[chauntzu]

Bill's playing always puts a smile on my face. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful playing...the master at work!!!

[marfunt]

Mr. Frisell, you are a magnificent story teller. I enjoy listening to these tales. Thank you!

[tomcoryell]

Ahhh, BillI can tell that you and that guitar have been friends for a time. Very sweet!

[ArtfulBodger]

I love the spaces he leaves between the phrases. Thanks Bill.
