Congrats @Telstar5 . Really good stuff there and your playing is just great.
Bill Frisell is a favorite of mine. I first heard Bill via John Zorn and Bill has a nice Minneapolis connection with the Walker. The Walker Art Institute here in Minneapolis commissioned a work from Bill back in the late 90’s and very recently with Bad Plus with Dave King on drums.

Yeah, seen him many times over the years out here in nyc. Just recently, an hour of duo improve with ikue mori at national sawdust in Brooklyn. Great venue. Crazy glitchy fun.
Where was this recorded?
As I recall at a small rehearsal space at the Hotel Bretton Hall on 86th and Broadway ... I knew Bill would change guitar from when I first played with him in ensemble class at Berklee College of Music in Boston. We had these sessions once a week for over a year . Bill has reigned it in a bit since then. I’m lucky in that I’ve gotten to play and record w Bill and another legendary if not as original but even more virtuosic instrumentalist Arthur Rhames. Easily the greatest multi instrumentalist I’ve ever heard
Ask Vernon Reid at 7:02
Thanks @Moderndaycompiler !
@Telstar5 I love Bill Frisell’s music and guitar playing. So original and wonderfull. Thank you for the share and hat off!
Thanks @Kitusai !
Great to hear this, thanks!
Bill has reigned it in a bit since then.
True. This recording is a throwback to an earlier style—Naked City—but he’s always had a a more measured approach at his disposal—his early ECM stuff. Anyway, thanks again.
Two other items:
there’s a frisell/reid album out there from the mid-80’s. I’ve got it in my collection somewhere, will have to dig it out.
long interview with Ethen Iverson on his Do The Math blog. Talks quite a bit about his Berkeley days.

Bill Frisell, hugely influential on contemporaray guitar, and Arthur Rhames what a monster talent, and unsung hero.
That is some pedigree you have there!
Love your drumming, Telstar5 do you record your kit playing into iOS?
Thanks @Tickletiger ! No, I’m an old drum machine guy. I like programming actually even from a piano keyboard (I actually play keyboard as a second instrument but I’m no Gary Husband, Lol ). That’s why I like the drum machine aspect of Stagelight . Plus I live in an apartment so I can’t play here . I don’t practice anymore but I still play professionally from time to time . I might chop up some of that audio at some point though.

Yeah Arthur was something else . I once played w both of them TOGETHER !
Awesome @Telstar5 ! First came to frisell from his pairings with nels cline and then his use of pedals. He’s probably my favorite guitarist.
. . . Theses drums are off the charts, yo . . . do you have four arms and eight legs? . . . How’d ya do it? . . .
Veeery funny ..
He's the reason I bought a PDS 8000 all those years ago!
He used to play here quite often with another very fine guitarplayer Dan Nettles.
I am really looking forward to listening to your material.
Thanks for sharing it.
