As with his solo shows here back in March, (which BTW was the gig that inspired the track mentioned above) the DL4 certainly seems to be taking centre stage in Bill's set-up, although he's be no means abandoned the Digitech pedal either. He seemed to be using one of the real-time backwards settings on the DL4 at one point and reversing loops too, but I was near the back so I'm going from what I heard rather than what little I could see. Great mixture of material from fuzz thrash through to acoustic delicacy. Crazy bass and drums too from Tony Scherr and Kenny Wooleson. For further evidence of my long term interest in Mr Frisell's oeuvre, please see: http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Delta/2495/bill_frz.htm On Monday, I saw the Finnish accordion player Kimmo Pohjonen, who make quite extensive use of loops and delays and makes a pretty intriguing racket! Interesting use of lighting and visuals, too, though perhaps nothing ground breaking. Should be on Jools Holland's Later (UK BBC2) this weekend or next, apparently. And London - well I've just moved to Wales, that's all you need to know about living and working in London(!) No - its fine til you need to buy a house somewhere close to a good school and then you sunk (must be all this rain) Cheers David <http://www.davidcooperorton.co.uk>
