Throughout his career, guitarist Bill Frisell has carved out his own musical category.
While associated early on with the jazz avant-garde, Frisell has kept his music open to country, rock and other inspirations, developing both a passionate sound and a laidback style.
At the 2002 Montreal Jazz Festival, Frisell and his septet of the time (with Greg Liesz on pedal steel guitar) perform a little bit of the atmospheric “Blues Dream” and then a full-length version of his tribute to a great bassist, “Ron Carter.”
This is primarily a performance by the ensemble with Bill Frisell in the lead throughout.
