Bill Frisell has 2 Austin dates on his calendar (www.billfrisell.com)in June. The band includes Greg Leisz on steel. Bill never comes to Texas, and I've never had a chance to see Greg play live. It will be a treat.

| I am so jealous!!!!!! Those two are my favorite musical team. If you speak to them, will you ask them to come to Miami? No one ever comes here (sob). Of course, there is a good reason for this. LOL. |

I understand that hearing Greg play steel can be a very inspirational event.... and this comes from non-steel playing folks!
Have a great time.

Frisell & Leisz:
Good Dog, Happy Man (lush, accessible, combining Americana and jazz)
Gone, Just like a Train (a little more stripped down, fantastic, edgy)
Blues Dream (sort of a combination of Frisell's earlier stuff with horns, plus a good dose of his Americana kick...lots of instrumental juxtaposition - not for everyone's ears, but amazing performances and arrangements)
I've seen Frisell & Leisz play together twice, and Leisz plays a little more sparingly than on the albums. The albums feature him a little more.
Go to Frisell's shows with an open mind, not necessarily expecting to hear anything from his albums. His shows are largely improvisational. And if you know Frisell's work, you know that he loves the tension that disonance creates. There will be lots of that...but it's really beautiful if you can accept where he's going with the music.[This message was edited by Chris Walke on 22 April 2006 at 01:23 PM.] |
