Seemingly able to play any style of music convincingly, guitarist Bill Frisell is not only a hugely influential guitar virtuoso, but also one of the most significant composers of our time. Like his musical hero Thelonious Monk, Frisell is always pushing himself into new creative territory; no two of his albums sound the same. Frisell's superhuman abilities as a musician have been apparent since he began his career as a sideman for ECM Records artists like Paul Motian and Jan Garbarek. But it's his rapturous solo material where he shines as not only a player, but a musical mastermind.
