Bill Frisell, guitar
Thomas Morgan, bass
Rudy Royston, drums
Bill Frisell's career as a guitarist and composer has spanned more than 40 years and many celebrated recordings, whose catalog has been cited by Downbeat as "the best recorded output of the decade".
"It's hard to find a more fruitful meditation on American music than in the compositions of guitarist Bill Frisell. Mixing rock and country with jazz and blues, he's found what connects them: improvisation and a sense of play. Unlike other pastichists, who tend to duck passion, Mr. Frisell plays up the pleasure in the music and also takes on another often-avoided subject, tenderness." - The New York Times
His latest recording is Valentine, on Blue Note, a trio album with Thomas Morgan (bass) and Rudy Royston (drums) that has been hailed as "a masterpiece" by Downbeat. "They consistently and strikingly play as one, voices intertwined, completing phrases as if sharing a single thought... Even overdubs are so perfect that everything feels utterly organic... the performances represent jazz playing at its most sublime."
