Bill Frisell has always been an intriguing guitarist, whether it was playing episodic avant-garde jazz early in his career, working with John Zorn and Paul Motian’s trio, or leading his own often Nashville-influenced groups which can be thought of as modern Americana.

Always a self-sufficient orchestra (with Motian and others Frisell’s guitar playing made having a string bassist unnecessary), he is a natural to play solo guitar which he does throughout this spontaneous and thoughtful performance from April 2, 2020.

Bill Frisell creates a nonstop medley of songs, going from one tune to another without a moment of hesitancy.

Starting off with the verse of “Someone To Watch Over Me,” and including a surprising version of “New York, New York,” Billy Strayhorn’s “A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing,” “Lush Life,” “What The World Needs Now Is Love,” a blues that finds him exploring some otherworldly sounds at its conclusion, a Beatles song, and some originals, Bill Frisell holds one’s attention throughout; there are no slow or wandering moments.

The results are quite memorable.

Review:

This is the one hundred fifty-ninth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

One of the great tenor-saxophonists in modern jazz (Joe Lovano) and his wife, the talented singer Judi Silvano, teamed up for a solo and duet performance on their May 23, 2020 LiveStream.

Lovano was born in Cleveland, was inspired by his father Tony “Big T” Lovano who played tenor locally, worked early on with Jack McDuff, Dr. Lonnie Smith and the Woody Herman Orchestra and the Mel Lewis Big Band, and has been a major force in the jazz world since the mid-1980s.

Joe Lovano has since led over 25 significant albums and worked with everyone from John Scofield and Bill Frisell to Saxophone Summit (next to David Liebman and Michael Brecker) and his own groups including Us Fire, a quintet that included bassist-singer Esperanza Spalding.

Judi Silvano, who learned from Sheila Jordan and Jeanne Lee, has worked with Mal Waldron, Kenny Werner and Bill Frisell in addition to leading more than ten of her albums and collaborating with her husband.

On their fascinating May 23, 2020 LiveStream of free improvisations, Lovano switches between several of his reeds (including tenor, alto clarinet and soprano) while Silvano alternates between singing wordlessly and painting a picture.

Review:

This is the nineteenth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

Adam and Matt Podd, who are based in Brooklyn, know how to put on a show, using every instrument they can get a hand on.

During this entertaining set, Matt plays piano and accordion while Adam is heard on string bass, ukulele, slide whistle, melodica, and piano; both of the Podd Brothers also sing.

Among the numbers heard during their performances of good time music are “When You’re Smiling,” “Mr. Sun,” “You Are My Sunshine,” “I Got Rhythm,” and a couple of songs in which a toddler plays drums,

It makes for a fun hour by a pair of talented brothers.
