We interviewed Bill Frisell, the Seattle-based guitarist and all-around nice guy, a few months ago. He’s coming back to LA with another new trio – this time with Eyvind Kang on viola and Rudy Royston on drums (we’ve got a shot at tickets for you at the end of this article). The new trio plays several new compositions and a few choice covers on his new album, Beautiful Dreamers. Losanjealous caught up with Bill in the Bay Area after a long flight from Vermont.
Q: We always seem to catch you as you are getting onto or off a plane – where are you now?
BF: I am in the Bay Area, I think (laughs) – I just got here from an artist residency in Vermont; way, way up in northern Vermont almost to Canada. I was there for about a month, just writing music.
Q: Just writing – not performing?
BF: Right, just writing. I‘ve never done anything like this before. I was the only musician there – the rest of the people were painters or sculptors – and I just had this big, blank, white room.
Q: That must have been great – do you have a full recording setup or just a guitar?
