Description
“Stylistically unclassifiable and uncontainable by nature,”(The New Yorker), guitarist Bill Frisell returns to Jazz Standard for six nights of exploratory improvisation and spirit–lifting songs in three distinctive formats.
“The quiet Seattle maestro has become the Jimi Hendrix of contemporary music’s quirkier forms, revolutionizing the palette of the electric guitar, and inspiring artists from avant–rockers to electronic producers. One of his most empathic partnerships has been this occasional but long–matured trio with Tony Scherr on bass and Kenny Wollesen on drums.” (John Fordham, The Guardian, 7.18.2017)

Grammy winning guitarist Bill Frisell is a highly revered figure in the jazz and blues scene.
There aren’t many artists that can attest to having a ‘signature’ sound, but like Miles Davis and a few others, he has built one from pure sound and inflection; an anti-technique that is instantly identifiable.
Mixing rock, country, jazz and blues all with a playfully improvisational style, what separates Frisell from his contemporaries is his tenderness with the guitar, something that is wholly unique to his music and live performances.
