OK, I'll say it: Bill Frisell is a national treasure.

[dbadagna]

Great show. Whoever was running sound deserves a credit as well.

[southamericanescapes]

Bill has always played like he has nothing to prove. Which has always made his playing sound like it should - "play." And it is always so refreshing.

[gordoguz]

This kind of stuff is just what the world needs now.

[edwardsah]

Wow. When I met my wife, almost 40 years ago, she was living in Kensington. Imagine walking outside to Bill Frisell.

The neighbors were lucky to have this kind of "noise" on their block.

Y'all I remember crying last year, askin my sister "What's gonna happen to music??"

Now I'm gonna cry again because live music is still here!

[douglynch]

Would love to see Bill Frisell do an entire album of Bacharach tunes- some of my favorite songs from my childhood. It's instant nostalgia for me, but this transforms it into something new.

This goes to show that no matter the circumstance even in the face of a crippling pandemic, music still remains the only truly unifying factor that can bring us together.

Here because Bill’s version of the Burt Bacharach classic is my fav. Thanks for this ❤

[darwinmartin]

Beyond the deadly plague and the forces of hate, thank God for these 3 fine musicians delivering this message to the masses and feeding the intangible good side of man.Thank God for musicians everywhere that take up this mantle because we need them in these times.

[CoffinPrick]

I remember watching this when it first went on, at a really dark point in this awful pandemic, and it brought a tear to my eye. I really need it at that time. A really beautiful rendition.

[marinst-pierrepaiement]

Feels like you are even more Bill Frisell as you were before all this ... Frisell for president !

[timharrington]

I was grateful to see Bill frisell in March in Seattle before this whole thing erupted with covid-19. He always works with the most amazing musicians. Thank you for posting this

[clarkb]

Thomas always gets such an incredible sound out of his instrument.

[clemsplace]

[SergioValenzuela]

[censusgary]

What the world needs now is love, sweet love.
That’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.

Now as always ...

[steeping]

Just beautiful. Love Burt Bacharach compositions, seems so perfectly suited as jazz arrangements.

[catfood]

Yep, that's definitely what the World needs now (thanks Mr. Bacharach for reminding us) and a little dose of Bill Frisell might actually help even more! Peace please.
