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



I saw Frisell live in Seattle a few years ago, at the Jazz Alley.  I was 
about 15 feet from him. It was a great performance....Bill and a hammond 
organ player, and drummer....my all time favorite jazz combo 
configuration. 
What I heard sounded nothing like any of his CDs. It was far more hip in 
my 
opinion. And at one point, he really opened up and was playing some hard 
bebop lines. He mixed it up quite a bit...did some looping, some of his 
more 
laid back material,  etc. He was playing through a hollow body jazz 
guitar, 
which sounded horrendous when he used distortion.
