BILL FRISELL TRIO

VILLAGE VANGUARD / AUGUST 26-31

Guitarist Bill Frisell returns to the Village Vanguard for a week-long residency with his trio featuring bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston. Bill's relationship with the Vanguard spans decades, documented on multiple live recordings that capture his singular approach. His sound – spacious, reverberant, deeply American – draws from country, folk, jazz and film music. Bill transforms familiar melodies into dreamlike meditations through patient improvisation and subtle electronic processing. Thomas's melodic bass playing and Rudy's dynamic drumming provide ideal support for Bill's explorations. The trio's repertoire includes Bill's compositions, Americana classics and jazz standards, all filtered through his distinctive sensibility. The Vanguard's legendary acoustics enhance every nuance of Bill's touch, making these performances essential listening for anyone seeking guitar jazz at its most personal and profound.
