Double Bills And Buster: Two Nights Of Film And Music by Bill Frisell, Bill Morrison, and Buster Keaton w/ Luke Bergman and Tim Angulo (Night 2)
About This Event
At Roulette, Night 2 of Double Bills And Buster brings together Bill Frisell and Bill Morrison alongside Buster Keaton films, with Luke Bergman and Tim Angulo on the bill. Frisell’s genre-crossing guitar work in New York and Angulo’s ensemble-minded restraint provide a measured musical counterpoint to Keaton’s stoic physical comedy.
About Double Bills And Buster: Two Nights Of Film And Music
At Roulette, the second night of *Double Bills And Buster: Two Nights Of Film And Music* pairs live music with Buster Keaton on screen, with filmmaker Bill Morrison and guitarist Bill Frisell joined by Double Bills And Buster and Luke Bergman. The program treats silent comedy as a living score problem rather than an archival object, placing contemporary New York musicians in direct conversation with early cinema. Keaton’s presence registers as cultural history that still shapes the city’s filmgoing DNA. The measured playing leaves room for the images to do their work.
