Bill Frisell was on the top my list right from the start of this interview series. Through the help of Mike Gibbs, I finally got in touch with Bill and we had a lovely conversation. What is there to say about Bill Frisell’s music that hasn’t been said yet? I mean, I don’t know anyone who knows about his music and doesn’t like it - everybody loves Bill Frisell! Maybe it’s because he’s so eclectic, so there’s something in there for everybody? Or because of his unique approach to the guitar? Or maybe because he enriches every musical setting? Because of his great tunes? His many different bands? The classic recordings he contributed to as a sideman? I really don’t know… there are so many things to love about him, his playing and his music. OK maybe I should stop rambling… You have a 2 hour conversation ahead of you, and you’re in for a ride. Enjoy!

It has always struck me how Bill speaks the way he plays, often (as he says about Jim Hall's playing) "...implying something big with something small." The way he will begin a phrase and then leave it hang in the air...and then beginning again, in a related direction, and following that...maybe leaving that hanging, maybe not. This way of listening to him, listening...creates or invites the opportunity to be present. "You know deep down inside what you really like. Don't be afraid to show it to someone else...If you are playing what you really love--that feeling transmits to people more than...anything." Beautiful.

Bill Frisell is a national treasure and one of the nicest and most humble people that signed my guitar.

@kelesays 4 года назад

Thank you, mate for just another opportunity to see Bill and know he is ok. God bless you.

@DarkMagus54 4 года назад

quite possibly one of the best interviews i've ever had the pleasure of listening to - like two people just talking about something they love. nobody ever gets cut off, and Bill has the freedom in his own funny way to go down any road he pleases, with Pablo gently guiding him to various interesting topics. Masterpiece.

Wow that’s so nice. Thank you

@JoeDiehlMusic 4 года назад

That’s really cool hearing him say he’s playing guitar so much lately and he was reminded of how it felt to be younger and in love with playing for the sake of learning and the pure love of music. That’s EXACTLY what I’ve been doing and feeling lately .... and it’s really cool to hear one of my heroes say that!!! Love this guy!!!

@theodorwadorno 4 года назад

I remember seeing him at Village Vanguard in 95, expecting lyrical "Frisellisms"..I think it was with Joey Baron and Kermit Driscoll (?) and he was blowing standards like crazy,really shredding through the evening...it was mindblowing

Thank you for another fantastic interview Pablo. Always a pleasure to hear Bill talk and I'm grateful for your pace and not rushing him through the questions; letting it all bubble around and cook at a gentle temperature, never full blast. Must have been as much fun for you to conduct as it was for me to listen!

@wylieroth3145 4 года назад

Thank you Pablo for this wonderful time with Bill. He's one of the best. I do feel as though there was -for me- a major gap; no mention of his extensive work with Zorn and the Naked City years. I was hoping you would go there. That alone would probably take another two hours.

@PabloHeldmusic 4 года назад

sure. so much stuff to talk about!

@arthurgraham3356 4 года назад

I recently found out about some Jerry Granelli albums that have Bill and Robben Ford playing together on them. A really interesting mix of two of my favourite guitarists.

@scallahan77 4 года назад

Great interview. Your back and forth on Monk was very illuminating. The conversation you shared with Bill transcends music. At it's core the interview is as much about self awareness and growth as music. It felt more like sitting in on a session and feeling the inspiration and improvisation happen. Thanks!

Hi Pablo! What is the name of the song playing in the beginning of this interview? Ps. I am a huge fan of your youtube channel/podcast. Thank you for doing what you do :)

@PabloHeldmusic 3 года назад

Hey Samuel, that's "Twenty Years" from the "Quartet" record. There's also a killing version of this song w/ Bill, Elvin and Dave Holland! Thanks for your nice response btw, I'm glad you enjoy the interviews and the channel.

This could be a truly GREAT interview if it had been edited somewhat... most of the time, it isn’t clear who the “he” or “him” is even being referred too. Since it ‘s such a VERY long interview, the interviewer has the responsibility to maintain some semblance of FOCUS, as the subject (Bill) tends to give very thoughtful, in-depth - and lengthy - responses to what appear to be completely extemporaneous questions. This just rambles on a bit much, as fascinating as the subject is...
