Bill Frisell Begins Two-Week Residency at New York's Village Vanguard; Film Featuring His Music Opens at Hot Docs Festival
Bill Frisell is in New York City this week to begin a two-week residency at the Village Vanguard. This week's line-up features the Bill Frisell Trio, with Eyvind Kang on violin and Rudy Royston on drums. Next week, Frisell leads his 858 Quartet, with Kang returning on violin, Jenny Scheinman on violin as well, and Hank Roberts joining on cello. Tonight, Portrait of a Man, a new documentary film featuring Frisell's music, receives its international premiere at the Hot Docs film festival in Toronto.
About this Album
Frisell’s quintet lineup interprets Ives, Copland, Hiatt, Dylan, even Madonna. The New York Times calls Frisell “a gifted improviser more than willing to offer unusual juxtapositions. Bits of country music float by, a jazz idea, a blast of rock.”
