Description

Over a period of forty-five years, Bill Frisell has established himself as one of the most innovative musicians at work today. A quietly revolutionary guitar hero for our genre-blurring times, he has synthesised many disparate musical elements - from jazz to pop, folk to film music, ambient to avant-garde, country to classical - into one compellingly singular sound. Described as 'the favourite guitarist of many people who agree on little else in music', Frisell connects to a diverse range of artists and admirers, including Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, and Bon Iver. Everybody loves Bill Frisell. Through unprecedented access, and interviews with his close family, friends and collaborators, Philip Watson tells the story of why.
