A relevant section from the above-mentioned "Bill Frisell, Beautiful Dreamer" by Philip Watson:

"...Frisell went to [Paul] Motian's apartment on Central Park West. 'I still remember when he opened the door, just the energy...that was heavy-duty. I'd never met Marc [Johnson]; I'd never met Paul. Bill Evans had died...they were talking about him. Then we started saying "Well, let's play something" and they said "My Man's Gone Now." So I'm playing this song I associate with Bill Evans with these two guys who played with him. It was heavy for me. I'm still trying to play that song.'"

And to think that Paul Motian is gone, too. This one runs deep - layers of meaning and many resonances in Frisell's performing that tune. Thank you.

Every note Bill plays sounds as if it’s newly discovered.

Bill shows up every few years and coaxes magic out of that Carr Sportsman. So many clips of him just slaying at Fretboard Journal through that amp.

Its difficult to say if he is the best out there but at the same time I feel there ain't noone out there who creates what he does in music. Certainly I haven't heard anyone playing this song in such a creative way. Bill you are a rare genius

When I need a break from life and clear my head, I listen to this man. He just takes me away with his beautiful music.

I become immediately entranced by Bill’s time, tone, and phrasing.

This may be my favorite thing he has done.

Listening to this beautiful version I can’t help but wonder how this tune influenced Mingus’ Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - there are definite similarities, almost a before and after emotional portrait.

Wow, Bill! That’s such a great arrangement and your tone is fantastic. it sounds like you developed it mostly from the Gil Evans arrangement. One of my favorite pieces of music and now I’ve got another one. I’ve already watched this video several times, but I’ve only just begun. Masterful solo guitar. Thank you for all your beautiful music!
