Bill Frisell - Quartet

Guitarist Bill Frisell's music can rarely be classified as traditional jazz, and the band on Quartet, his new Nonesuch release, is also a departure from the traditional jazz quartet-and from the musicians with whom he has worked on several previous projects. Dubbed a "masterpiece" by the New York Times, the album features Frisell on electric and acoustic guitar, Ron Miles on trumpet, Eyvind Kang on violin and tuba, and Curtis Fowlkes on trombone. The instrumentation on Quartet evokes a distinct American regional flavor, incorporating melodic jazz and even country styles. The album includes short tunes for film, as well as several from Gary Larson's CBS special "Tales from the Far Side." Universally recognized for his dazzling technique and innovative style, and often noted for his sizzling, free form delivery, Frisell offers an album of original compositions that is defined by organic compositional unity.
