bluegrass tunes.
A celebrated composer and one of the most sought-after guitar
voices in contemporary music, Bill Frisell explores his latest
compositions (as well as time-honored jazz and folk standards) with
his trio featuring Kenny Wollesen on drums and Tony Scherr on bass.
The diverse backgrounds of all three of these talented musicians
provide a wide-open climate where, musically speaking, anything is
possible.
Robin Holcomb "has created a new American regionalism, spun from
many threads -- country rock, minimalism, Civil War songs, Baptist
hymns, Appalachian folk tunes -- even the polytonal music of Charles
Ives. The music that results is as elegantly simple as a Shaker quilt,
and no less beautiful" (Mark Dery, The New York Times).
