Mesmerising, elegant and electric, Grammy Award–winning jazz guitarist Bill Frisell
returns to Australia for a one-night-only performance at the Perth International Jazz
Festival. Dubbed “one of the most distinctive and original improvising guitarists of our
time” by the New York Times, Frisell has been a seminal figure in modern American
music for over 40 years, astoundingly original and breathtakingly prolific. With a
repertoire that saunters between jazz, bluegrass, country, rock and folk, interwoven with
metamorphic splendor and bursts of the avant-garde, Frisell’s sound traverses the
sweep of contemporary American musical history, whilst always maintaining a uniquely
identifiable sound.
Frisell’s trio is completed by two of the most in-demand jazz
musicians on the international scene—Thomas Morgan (bass) and Rudy Royston
(drums). This concert features music from the trio’s recent album Valentine—rated a
modern “masterpiece” by DownBeat. Don’t miss this iconic voice in music delivering big-
sky grooves with one of jazz’s most deeply interactive trios
