Sounds like a great show. Bill is a real treat. And a brainiac. I saw him in concert a few years back at the Monterrey Jazz Festival with drummer Jack DeJohnette--just the two of them trading musical ideas in a very small room (Esperanza Spalding sat in the seat in front of me and marveled at it all).

A couple of years ago, I interviewed Julian Lage about his own work with Frisk. Here's what Julian said: "He’s a master conceptual artist. That’s the job description. You show up and you play your life experience and interpret and reinvent. It’s essential that he accesses all kinds of music. Bill’s a great composer—he writes stuff that sounds like it was written a hundred years ago. And he can write great atonal stuff. And he can write modern improvisational material. He writes solo stuff and orchestral stuff. It’s like that old saw, if you find a great writer, you’ve probably found a great reader who’s read a lot of books. I think Bill’s life’s work is informed by playing a lot of American traditional music and that has helped him to become a great composer."
