Re: Sheet Music for Bill Frisell's "Strange Meeting"

["Kris Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

Bill actually talked on a video? Amazing. :) He seems so shy that I can't 
imagine him saying much beyond "I can't see you...but I can hear 
you...[awkward pause....applause]. Thanks for the tip. I do have the live 
trio CD...it's one of my all time favorites in my entire CD collection.  I 
like that version of Strange Meeting much better than the version on his 
work with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones....that one seems a bit rushed for 
me, though Holland's Quartet works are, to me, the epitome of modern jazz.
