Sam Amidon is a young artist on Nonesuch and, according to Mark Christman of Philly’s Ars Nova series, is touring with Bill Frisell as a sideman.

Sam Amidon is also married to British folkie Beth Orton. Ok.

Sam Amidon is from Vermont area. Cool.

But where does this leave Jenny Scheinman? Same instrument.

We saw Bill with his normal new quartet, Wolleson Scher and Leisz, in Napa, weeks before the big quake. We got the ok to try to say hello but somehow missed our cue.

Nothing in life perfect.
