While we may start earlier, this may become a tradition that continues on the last day of the XRIJF... I like that. I left the tailgate (well, we were more on the stoop of my friend's apartment building, although we were in a parking lot, the ...

Started the evening out with the third Rochester Jazz Festival appearance of Bill Frisell. Here with his “Beautiful Dreamers" project with Rudy Royston on drums and Eyvind Kang on violin, Frisell was what I always expect when I hear Bill Frisell ... unexpected. The opening number of the first set “began" when I noticed that Frisell and Kang's “tuning" was beginning to develop a pattern. The group then layered and developed these patterns further.
