The New York venue Roulette’s YouTube channel keeps posting one amazing performance video after another. A recent one is the live score to a film, The Great Flood by Bill Morrison, performed by the tight little trio of Bill Frisell (guitar), Luke Bergman (bass), and Tim Angulo (drums). The production takes as its topic the catastrophic 1927 flooding of Mississippi River. While the threesome perform there are short segments on the flood itself, the immediate aftermath, the resulting migration, and other interrelated factors. It was followed the second night with live scores to two other Morrison films, and two from Buster Keaton, The High Sign and One Week. More at the Roulette website on night one and night two, May 23 and 24 of this year.
