Bill Frisell on Tim Angulo and Luke Bergman
Luke Bergman and Tim Angulo.
It’s all about the music.
Generosity.
For a long long time, Luke Bergman has been flipping me out. He shows me things. Harmony. There’s something else there. How deep will it go? We’ve done so much together, and yet it feels like we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface.
And then there’s Tim Angulo. The first notes we played together, I felt like I was home…but at the same time in completely uncharted territory. Mystery. A dream. A good dream. The unexpected. No fear.
Tim Angulo and Luke Bergman together.
I knew this had to happen. So much to look forward to. Adventures to come.
Luke and Tim are my teachers.
About Bill Frisell
Bill Frisell’s career as a guitarist and composer has spanned more than 40 years and many celebrated recordings, whose catalog has been cited by Downbeat as “the best recorded output of the decade.”
In recent years, Frisell has forged a distinctive and fruitful collaboration with the Blue Note label, releasing HARMONY, Valentine, FOUR and Orchestras to great acclaim.
“Frisell has had a lot of practice putting high concept into a humble package. Long hailed as one of the most distinctive and original improvising guitarists of our time, he has also earned a reputation for teasing out thematic connections with his music… There’s a reason that Jazz at Lincoln Center had him program a series called Roots of Americana.” – New York Times
Recognized as one of America’s 21 most vital and productive performing artists, Frisell was named an inaugural Doris Duke Artist in 2012. He is also a recipient of grants from United States Artists, Meet the Composer among others. In 2016, he was a beneficiary of the first FreshGrass Composition commission to preserve and support innovative grassroots music. Upon San Francisco Jazz opening their doors in 2013, he served as one of their Resident Artistic Directors. Bill is the subject of a documentary film by director Emma Franz, entitled Bill Frisell: A Portrait, which examines his creative process in depth, as well as an extensive biography by Philip Watson, Beautiful Dreamer: The Guitarist Who Changed The Sound of American Music.
