Caught my third of three Frisell August show at the Vanguard tonight, this with the "Four" quartet a bass-free guitar/piano/sax/drums thing. The pace was largely slow and dreamy with lots of space for the players to move around in. The opening stretch was a masterclass in 4-way improv. Rest was decent.
Frisell at the VV in August is one of my favorite NYC livemusic annual traditions.

Gegen Musik von diesem Mann hat der Regen keine Chance: Bill Frisell beim Augsburger Jazzsommer

The Father of American Pop Music Turns 200
Stephen Foster’s songs became ubiquitous—people sometimes mistook them for folk songs even during his lifetime—and were performed everywhere from back porches to opera houses, in every genre imaginable.
“The melody just gets so deep down in you. It’s like the trunk of a tree, or the roots of the tree, and then you can start climbing around up there.”

Here’s my review of Hatty Skoler’s “Echoes” (with some passing reviews of singles featuring Angel Bat Dawid and Anat Cohen).
“Skoler and Walter Smith III wrote all of the compositions, and they are clearly on the same page. The melodies are careful, often moody, and offer a rich bed of harmonies precisely articulated by Bill Frisell’s guitar. This isn’t free jazz. No one is screeching, bashing, or pushing past the chord changes. Frisell is on his good behavior, keeping the effects to a minimum while retaining a wide expressive sonic palette. The music swings obliquely, thanks in large part to Blake’s responsive direction.”

Elvis Costello, Hey Clockface, 2020 on Concord Records
Elvis Costello's 31st studio LP out in 2020 on Concord. There are a couple of different recording sessions here with different bands, but Steve Nieve, Bill Frisell, and Nels Cline all make appearances here. "Hatty O'Hara Confidential" was a highlight when I saw Costello and Nieve at the Cabot last year. My copy—via Bull Moose Records in Plaistow NH—is the standard 2xLP on black vinyl with a gatefold.https://goatless.org/2026/05/17/elvis-costello-hey-clockface-2020-on-concord-records

And then, as luck would have it, Bill Frisell! Matinee set back at Appel with totally different band and feel. Petra Haden, Ambrose Akinmusire and Tim Angulo creating more magic, vocals and all... Including the most haunting cover of Where Have All the Flowers Gone? imaginable.
So lucky to be able to catch 3 of his birthday shows. All unique in their own way, three lineups, three side of Frisell as a bandleader. A tryptych of Frisellian magic. Grateful!

And in a surprise to absolutely no one, I saw Bill Frisell (again) tonight. Still celebrating 75 years, this evening with the stellar "In My Dreams" band with Jenny Scheinman, Eyvind Kang, Hank Roberts, Tony Scherr, and Rudy Royston. I mean, they're all good, but this was positively majestic made even more so by the equally majestic venue, the Appel Room... Perhaps the best room in the city. Stunning interplay between the strings and guitar and the room. It's the beauty and chaos of the city itself. Phenomenal show.

Thanks for some suggestions for Paul Bley recordings. These two are terrific!
Out of print but I will track them down, at some point. -

My Denver trip ends with a right place/right time chance to see Bill Frisell in his hometown one day after his birthday and it was, no surprise, magical. With Luke Bergman and Tim Angulo - an updated version of the Bill Frisell Trio, electric bass gave it a nice new flavor. One extended set that never stopped until the end, just a long flowing abstraction of distilled Frisell. What luck for me at the Federal Theater.
And now... Red eye home!

Various Artists, Here It Is: A Tribute To Leonard Cohen, 2022 on Blue Note
Wonderful compilation of covers in tribute to Leonard Cohen by a collection of artists, including:
- Norah Jones – Steer Your Way
- Peter Gabriel – Here It Is
- Gregory Porter – Suzanne
- Sarah McLachlan – Hallelujah
- Immanuel Wilkins – Avalanche
- Luciana Souza – Hey, That’s Now Way To Say Goodbye
- James Taylor – Coming Back To You
- Iggy Pop – You Want It Darker
- Mavis Staples – If It Be Your Will
- David Gray – Seems So Long Ago, Nancy
- Nathaniel Rateliff – Famous Blue Raincoat
- Bill Frisell – Bird On a Wire
It’s challenging, as Cohen songs (“Hallelujah” in particular) have been so heavily covered but I still think people manage to bring something new to these renditions – highly recommended.
My copy—direct from Blue Note—is the standard black vinyl 2xLP version, pressed at Optimal.

Dass Gitarrist Bill Frisell sein Instrument wie ein Orchester klingen lassen kann, war schon öfter zu lesen und zu hören. Sein neues Album »Orchestras« dokumentiert jetzt zwei inspirierte Konzerte, die Frisell mit seinem langjährigen Trio mit Bassist Thomas Morgan und Schlagzeuger Rudy Royston und zwei Orchestern gegeben hat, der fast 60-köpfigen Brussels Philharmonic und dem 11-köpfigen Umbria #Jazz Orchestra. #billfrisell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__-WkFv27ZA&list=PLGJC5hQHJfCK0K9zp2Qy07ZhvVgrrRhNt

Tonight: haven't seen anyone over the past 4 years as much as Marta Sanchez and I don't think I've loved anyone more over that period than I've loved Bill Frisell, but I do not believe I'd ever seen them together before tonight. Needless to say, it was sublime. Trio set at the Stone with Ingrid Laubrock. As with everything in that room could've gone a million ways, but was a total lighter-than-air bliss-out. Three musicians in constant, sweet-nothing conversation with each other. Everything I dreamed it could be and then some. Perfection!
