KNOXVILLE JAZZ ORCHESTRA - AN EVENING WITH BILL FRISELL


January 23, 2018

An Evening with Bill Frisell

In 2015, legendary guitarist Bill Frisell teamed up with Michael Gibbs, one of his former Berklee College of Music professors, and the famed NDR jazz orchestra of Germany to record a full length recording of music for big band. The fruits of that recording will be performed live in the U.S. for the first time at this very special event. The New York Times proclaimed that Frisell “plays up the pleasure in the music, and also takes on another often-avoided subject, tenderness.” The Philadelphia Inquirer stated that “Frisell is a revered figure among musicians - like Miles Davis and few others, his signature is built from pure sound and inflection; an anti-technique that is instantly identifiable”
