Play A Bill Frisell Setlist (2015)

"So much came from my association with Mike... He went from being my hero to a friend, and hes always been my teacher... Ive always fantasized about doing something with him adapting some of my music. (Bill Frisell) As a dauntingly prolific artist, Bill Frisell has recorded in a vast array of settings, but hes never made an album like this one. Captured live in concert with the superb NDR Bigband, the guitarist delivers a tour de force performance on a program of ingenious arrangements designed specifically for him and the NDR by Michael Gibbs. Recorded at the Überjazz Festival on Oct 26, 2013, this album captures Frisell interacting with one of the worlds great jazz orchestras, exploring sleek, spacious, vividly expressive arrangements of compositions drawn from throughout his career. This is Bill Frisells first-ever appearance as the featured soloist on a big band session, and with Gibbs melodically verdant, harmonically suggestive arrangements, hes not likely to find a better set list.
