SUMMARY:Strange Meeting: The Music of Bill Frisell
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nChris Batchelor - Trumpet\n\nMargrit Hasler - Viola\n\nJohn Parricelli - Electric Guitar\n\nDave Whitford - Double Bass\n\n \nAbout\nStrange Meeting was formed in 2023 to explore the distinctive\, fluid and witty music of guitarist Bill Frisell. The band cover a range of Frisell’s stylistically varied output\, including pieces from the albums In Line\, This Land\, Good Dog Happy Man\, but with a particular focus on repertoire from the 1996 album Quartet.\n\nConsidered one of Frisell’s finest recordings\, Quartet features the unusual instrumentation of guitar\, violin\, trumpet and trombone and a unique balance of intricate arrangements and collective improvisation. Many of the album’s compositions were written for Gary Larson’s surreal animation Tales From the Far Side.\n\nJohn Parricelli and Chris Batchelor have a long history going back to the 1980’s as founder members of Loose Tubes. Recently they have reunited alongside violist Margrit Hasler in Batchelor’s chamber jazz group Zoetic\, releasing their debut CD Telling The Tale. Completing the quartet with his warm sound and melodic approach is double bassist Dave Whitford.\n\n“If Batchelor ran a restaurant\, critics would be describing small plates\, packed with punchy flavours\, using only the finest ingredients”\n\n“Parricelli….capable of endless feats of subtlety and control” londonjazznews.com\n\n
