Показать описание

In this episode of the New York Guitar Festival’s Red Sofa Concerts, Bill Frisell performs two solo sets, one on a 1966 Martin 00-21 New Yorker and one on a 1962 Gibson ES-335. We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Bill at the NYGF for 15+ years. One of the most unlikely of guitar heroes, he’s internationally known for genre-straddling work in jazz and Americana, and has racked up honors including a Grammy Award and numerous Critics Polls at Downbeat Magazine.

-Rambler (Bill Frisell)
-Lotus Blossom (Billy Strayhorn)
-What the World Needs Now is Love (Burt Bacharach)

With the Gibson ES-335:
-Crepuscule with Nellie (Thelonious Monk)
-Misterioso (Thelonious Monk)

-I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry (Hank Williams).

p.s. Hola señor González, First of all, thank you for visiting our channel. We are humbled by the interest we receive from all corners of the globe, and love it when people are inspired by our content and take the time to ask questions or share information. As for your inquires, we asked our founder/director David Spelman, and here is what he said: “the mic on the Martin acoustic was a Mojave MA-200, and the mic on the amp was a Sure SM-57. Our Apogee Symphony was sometimes having issues, so we brought in the Zoom recorders for back up, just in case. Everything was done in mono, with the second Mojave and Sure mics going to the Zoom. The Mojave went through an LA-610 and the Sure through an NPNG DMP-2NW. Everything then went to Logic. Big shout-out to the great Jack Daley of Dug Deep Production recording studio in Asbury Park, NJ, where we like to mix the Red Sofa Concerts.” We hope this answers your questions. Do please visit our channel again real soon.
*cheers from Team NYGF. : )

This Is a Masterpiece in production and postproduction terms, what mics are on the amp? Did somebody mic the Piano?
What about the zoom recorders?....
What do you have on that Rag, looks like a la 610...
Bill FRISELL touch is beautiful, but c'mon he Is not alone.

Bill and I were fellow paperboys at Station 13 for The Denver Post in the mid-to-late 60's. I had no idea that he was such a guitar icon. He had not crossed my mind for the last five decades until this video popped-up. As kids, he was one of the "Big/older Kids" (as I was a few years younger) who was always quiet, kind and helpful; a true role model, while most of the other "Big/older Kids" were not so pleasant. It was great to run across this video and the memory.

Bill Frisell is an international treasure. I thank the Universe for dropping him off on earth while I'm here.

The thing that I think makes Bill Frisell so stylistically different from every other guitarist I've heard is how deliberate every note is. Sometimes, it can even sound a bit unfluid or stilted as a result, on occasion. But, it's 100% because he is selecting each and every note, and being incredibly intentional about what comes out of the guitar next. It's a totally different approach to playing than anyone else I listen to. He's got a ton of muscle memory, and I'm sure he can fly through scales, but he just doesn't. Every nuance of the thing, each voicing, is something that it sounds like he spent a month thinking about.

Oh boy, we all don‘t remember these Covid times to favourably, but here the took the opportunity and a treasure came out… thanks for sharing this…

How can someone be unpretentious and awesome simultaneously? Bill's playing reminds me why I love music. He's perfectly suited for Monk on guitar. I wish he lived next door. He seems like he'd make a world-class best friend.

It's wild, Bill always has this wobbly unsteady vibe going when he plays electric, but he still pulls it off on acoustic with no effects at all. Just delightful.

This is genius at work. Sometimes less is more. An understated player who actually says something with his music.

There is everybody.
And there is Bill Frisell.
He’s a category of his own.
Thank you Mr. Frisell for enriching the world.
Now: who are these guys who give this a thumbs down? Can not understand....

This dude doesn't play one note he doesn't intend to play. It's absolute brilliance.

Simultaneously jagged and gorgeous playing on the acoustic, in particular.

I have no idea why, but every time I hear Bill play-I’m weeping, That beautiful lyricism and melody. He really couldn’t be anyone else and for that I’m eternally great full-Thanks Bill

I had not seen Bill Frisell play acoustic guitar. He is really incredible, he is a complete artist: guitarist, arranger, composer, great human being ... I really love him more every day.
