Great comments everyone! His acoustic gets that same shimmer that he gets with his electric. He always has that look of excitement and boyish grin, as if he is just as surprised and excited over the notes he plays. He plays the same way he speaks. Listen to him in an interview.He carefully chooses what he says, before he says it. There is pause and space when he talks, and that is exactly how his playing is. So beautiful.
Yeah I’m the same, it just gorgeous playing, if you like Matts playing he has a band called the earregulars that have loads of videos on RU-vid. He really shines in a quartet.
Fantastic to hear Bill and Matt, two highly individual "voices" playing together, as well as solo. The Gibsons sound beautiful in the hands of these two favorites. And the material couldn't be better!
Bill is the greatest, after the first song, the way he's like 'Ohhh man!', just so joyful. Awesome to see a musician so humbled over the music he creates.
This is gold, one of best live playing I’ve heard, still listening to it after years of accidentally stumbling on these live playing trying to better my guitar playing, soon after I played “give me roses while a live” at my grandma’s house.. to remind myself to love her before she pass and show it to her. Even tho she didn’t know English or understood it. It was enough for me to remember to love her and carry her memories in my soul and being. She recently passed a couple days after my 2nd son was born. Her endurance and love for her grandkids are beautiful.. I’m happy to have seen her on her last day and catch her last breath, I believed that I have not fulfilled everything my grandma wanted for me.. but at least i bore two great grandkids.. that was the only thing I could have fulfilled, while she was alive in loving memories of Tran Thi Ba 1-25-37 - 10-23-22
Matt is a really great player, very precise and thoughtful notes. Then there is his L-5 that is to die for. I once had it's twin and wish I had kept it. The two of them are really a treat to listen to.....no flashy stuff, just elegantly played music that is way tasty.
Here’s a song index, as far as I can make it out. Thanks for another fine video. 0:00 - Jitterbug Waltz (thanks mikejwolter1) 6:03 - Give Me the Roses While I Live 12:20 - Old Folks 14:43 - Goodnight Irene 20:26 - Honeysuckle Rose
So Elegant . Rare guitar Duet all about Music . Hope Munisteri can share and talk with fans next time he travels to France . ( I remember Clermont Ferrand "Jazz en Tête " 2013 ) .Bill Frisell is a poet, so strong and delicate .Bravo and thanks to share .
Great playing. Matt really gives a master class in comping here. Bill seems like the most gentle and inviting soul a person could meet. I am sure that he brings out the best in everyone who plays with him.
This is so good...those old Gibsons are magical! (not to mention the amazing guitarists!) Pure music, that's how you listen and respond. No bullshit, no gratuitous grandstanding. I really love this.
Bill seems to pull Matt into a musical vacuum without gravity, where their notes hang, sentences completed mid-air, blurring the lines of collaboration...
No, we just paired them together for this session. They also played together for a couple of songs at the Fretboard Summit last November. With any luck, one day they'll do something official.
Matt, you take all your ability and knowledge. You put it all out there, and, somehow, all I hear is, "Squeak Screech, Squeak Screech, Squeak Screech." I don't understand.
