Miles and I are heading to Duke University tonight to see the Disfarmer project with the Bill Frisell Trio. Frisell wrote a score to go with the Disfarmer images. It's a real treat for me to finally see Bill Frisell, one of my favorite composers and one of the best jazz guitarists, ever. We are going to stay the night with my old friend, Matt Hopkins, in Cary. Matt will have his two cutie pie girls with him and Miles is looking forward to watching the first Harry Potter movie on the car DVD as we drive over to Cary. We will make it back home on Sunday in time for the BIG Clemson basketball game at Maryland.
Disfarmer Project
Musical Portraits from Heber Springs
BILL FRISELL'S DISFARMER PROJECT
In the small mountain town of Heber Springs, Arkansas, the artist and photographer known as Disfarmer captured the lives and emotions of rural America between 1939-1945. Critics have hailed Disfarmer's remarkable portraits as "a work of artistic genius" and "a classical episode in the history of American photography." This work has captivated the imagination of the celebrated guitarist and composer Bill Frisell, who has been inspired to write and perform music in concert with multiple projected images from Disfarmer's treasure trove of period portraits. Violinist Jenny Scheinman, steel guitarist Greg Leisz and bassist Viktor Krauss will share the stage in interpreting Frisell’s music.
See ya!
