Bill Frisell SOLO April 9, 1996 at Scullers, Boston, Massachusetts

Audience recording of Bill playing solo at a club in Boston in 1996. Bill talks between some of the songs and is really funny. He plays a lot on the fact that he was nervous and second-guessing himself on whether he should be identifying each song, etc. This was around the time of his Quartet album with Curtis Fowlkes, who was in the audience, and is introduced by Bill, who asks Curtis to stand and take a bow. It's a semi-awkward scene that ends up with laughter.
