Bill Frisell: East/West
by Renato Wardle
Jazz musicians are relentlessly struggling to find a unique sound on their particular instruments. However, only a very few can lay claim to discovering their own voice, let alone engendering an entire genre. Bill Frisell is one such artist. His style of jazz exists at the crossroads between the disparate idioms of jazz, blues, and country. ...
Garage a Trois: Outre Mer
by John Kelman
Film music has its own sets of demands, often required to elevate the emotional content of the cinematic story while at the same time seamlessly blending so that it doesn't dominate.

Jazzclub Singen (Hohentwiel, Germany) 15th Anniversary
by Robert R. Calder
Fifteen years ago Jazz-Club Singen was established in relation to the modest little theatre cum cinema (called GEMS) at the edge of the little industrial town of Singen-am-Hohentwiel, in the handsome German hinterland of Lake Constance (the Bodensee).

Bill Frisell: Richter 858
by John Kelman

They also assert that, like them or not, the Americana, world music, and groove-centric concerns of his most recent Nonesuch ...
Bill Frisell: Richter 858
by Dan McClenaghan
Richter 858 is a commissioned work, setting guitarist Bill Frisell up with the job of creating music to accompany eight paintings for a book project on German painter Gerhard Richter.

Bill Frisell: Unspeakable
by John Kelman
