#4785, From the 2023 New York Guitar Festival in The Greene Space, Part 2
Hear music from the 2023 New York Guitar Festival by classical Korean guitarist and improviser Jiji; also, listen to a set by jazz guitar legend Bill Frisell, together with Luke Bergman. All of these performances were recorded live at the 2023 New York Guitar Festival in the Greene Space.
Listen to music from the spectacular classical Korean guitarist and improviser Jiji. She adapts the stunning and acrobatic Caprice No. 24 by 19th century virtuoso violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini. Plus, she plays a work by the Icelandic composer, guitarist and professor of electronic composition, Gulli Bjornsson.
Then, there's a set from contemporary jazz guitar legend guitarist Bill Frisell, together with guitarist, bassist, and vocalist Luke Bergman. Frisell is a singular player in the jazz world, consistently sticking to his roots and American folk, while trying out any other thing that may move him. Bergman is, in Frisell’s words, “a master harmonizer, organizer, orchestrator, imaginator” (Program notes, Grace Cathedral). Together they swapped musical ideas remotely during the pandemic and composed a number of pieces. Listen to some of those tunes, including “Waltz for Hal Wilner” from his 2022 album, Four (Blue Note), and other works. - Caryn Havlik
