His name is Bill Frisell. I saw this on PBS and then found it on utube. He is a master at effects. |

Location: NJ | Pick up the soundtrack to the Sean Connery film "Finding Forrester". Frisell is all over it.
It also contains that Izzy/uke rendition of "Over The Rainbow" (fact, that was the first place I'd ever heard it).
Frisell does an "Over the Rainbow" that's absolutely "haunting" on it . . . |

This must be the version; it is much more haunting. The guy has arrangement skills. |
