Description
“Beautiful Dreamers” is a stunning recording consisting of original compositions and striking reinterpretations performed by guitarist and composer Bill Frisell along with Eyvind Kang (viola) and Rudy Royston (drums).
Produced by longtime collaborator Lee Townsend Frisell’s debut album for Savoy captures the musical magic that’s inhabited the performances of this ensemble since they first played live together as a trio in 2008. With ten originals and six covers of tunes by the likes of Blind Willie Johnson, Benny Goodman and Stephen Foster, Frisell has created one of his most personal musical statements working with Kang and Royston who engage him in seamless and stimulating musical dialogue.
Bill Frisell’s artistry is legendary and he’s made an indelible imprint on American music. His passionate, versatile talent transcends genres while pushing musical boundaries. He’s worked comfortably within the realms of jazz, rock, progressive folk, Americana, blues and classical, playing with his own hand-picked ensembles or collaborating with stellar musical peers such as Paul Motian, Joe Lovano, Brian Eno, Elvis Costello, Ricky Lee Jones, Suzanne Vega and Loudon Wainwright III to name a few.
