Endelig kommer Bill Frisell til Maijazz!
Endelig kommer Bill Frisell til Maijazz! Han har vært en av verdens ledende gitarister siden 80-tallet så det er på høy tid at Maijazz publikummet får oppleve denne eminente gitaristen. 2 år med pandemi har dessverre gjort ventetiden enda lenger. Nå er han klar for Maijazz 2022. Bill Frisell har opp i gjennom årene vært første valget som gitarist med storheter som Paul Simon, Jan Garbarek, David Sylvian, Arild Andersen, Elvis Castello og Marianne Faithfull for å nevne noen.
»My trio with Tony Scherr and Kenny Wollesen is probably the most flexible, spontaneous group I play with. The program can change from night to night depending on what kind of mood we’re all in, the size or sound of the room, the audience, what we have or had not had to eat that day, how much sleep we’ve had recently, how far we’ve traveled, etc etc .We never plan a set before hand. With Tony and Kenny I have the luxury of playing just about anything that comes into my head at any moment. This could be music from any of my albums, standard songs, folk songs, or whatever. These guys really inspire and challenge me every time we get together.» -Bill Frisell
«He is among this country’s most distinctive composers, crafting music that blends jazz, blues, country and pop, and, like the best of those traditions, is simultaneously accessible and subversive.” – Wall Street Journal
Bill Frisell – gitar, Tony Scherr – bass og Kenny Wollesen – trommer
