Bill Frisell • The Intercontinentals

 


Bill Frisell’s career as a guitarist and composer has spanned more than 40 years and many celebrated recordings, whose catalog has been cited by Downbeat as "the best recorded output of the decade."

In recent years, Frisell has forged a distinctive and fruitful collaboration with the Blue Note label, releasing HARMONY, Valentine and FOUR to great acclaim.

"Frisell has had a lot of practice putting high concept into a humble package. Long hailed as one of the most distinctive and original improvising guitarists of our time, he has also earned a reputation for teasing out thematic connections with his music... There’s a reason that Jazz at Lincoln Center had him program a series called Roots of Americana."  - New York Times

Recognized as one of America’s 21 most vital and productive performing artists, Frisell was named an inaugural Doris Duke Artist in 2012.  He is also a recipient of grants from United States Artists, Meet the Composer among others.  In 2016, he was a beneficiary of the first FreshGrass Composition commission to preserve and support innovative grassroots music.  Upon San Francisco Jazz opening their doors in 2013, he served as one of their Resident Artistic Directors.  Bill is the subject of a documentary film by director Emma Franz, entitled Bill Frisell: A Portrait, which examines his creative process in depth, as well as an extensive biography by Philip Watson, Beautiful Dreamer: The Guitarist Who Changed The Sound of American Music.

La carrera de Bill Frisell como guitarrista y compositor ha abarcado más de 40 años y muchas grabaciones celebradas, cuyo catálogo ha sido citado por Downbeat como "la mejor producción grabada de la década."

En los últimos años, Frisell ha forjado una colaboración distintiva y fructífera con el sello Blue Note, lanzando HARMONY, Valentine y FOUR con gran éxito.

"Frisell ha tenido mucha práctica poniendo un alto concepto en un paquete humilde. Aclamado durante mucho tiempo como uno de los guitarristas improvisadores más distintivos y originales de nuestro tiempo, también se ha ganado la reputación de desentrañar las conexiones temáticas con su música... Hay una razón por la que Jazz at Lincoln Center lo hizo programar una serie llamada Roots of Americana."- New York Times

Reconocida como una de las 21 artistas escénicas más vitales y productivas de Estados Unidos, Frisell fue nombrada Artista inaugural de Doris Duke en 2012.  También es beneficiario de becas de Artistas de Estados Unidos, Conoce al Compositor entre otros.  En 2016, fue beneficiario de la primera comisión de Composición de FreshGrass para preservar y apoyar la música innovadora de base.  Cuando San Francisco Jazz abrió sus puertas en 2013, se desempeñó como uno de sus Directores Artísticos Residentes.  Bill es el tema de un documental de la directora Emma Franz, titulado Bill Frisell: A Portrait, que examina en profundidad su proceso creativo, así como una extensa biografía de Philip Watson, Beautiful Dreamer: The Guitarist Who Changed The Sound of American Music.
