Bill Frisell – Good Dog with Greg Leisz, Tony Scherr, and Kenny Wolleson

The Freight

Trumpeter Steven Bernstein’s week begins with his long-running band Sex Mob, playing a cross-section of fresh material and selections from their repertoire.

The quartet has honed a singular sound over two decades marked by high-energy, protean group improvisation and rollicking grooves unlike any other band on the planet. Originally formed for a weekly residency at New York’s Knitting Factory, they’ve earned a devoted fan base with boisterous deconstructions of tunes by a shaggy menagerie of pop acts, from Abba and James Brown to Prince and Elvis Presley, and subversively re-imagined film music of Nino Rota and John Barry. They’ve released nine superlative albums for the Ropeadope, Columbia, Rex, Thirsty Ear, and Royal Potato labels.

WORDS ON FIVE FROM BILL:
I’ve been dreaming of this for a long long time.
Kenny Wollesen, Tony Scherr, and I have a long long history playing as a trio.
Rudy Royston, Thomas Morgan, and I have a long long history playing as a trio.
I’ve played trio with Rudy and Tony.
I’ve played trio with Kenny and Thomas.
I’ve played duets with all of them.
They are my friends, my teachers, my heroes. Every moment a joy and inspiration.
