"Frisell has had a lot of practice in how to squeeze a top-notch concept into a modest package. He has long been hailed as one of the most distinctive and original improvising guitarists of our time, but he has also earned a reputation for bringing out the thematic connections in his music..." wrote the New York Times about him. Frisell is one of the most sought-after session guitarists not only on the jazz scene, his solo work includes strong elements of folk, rock 'n' roll, Americana and improvisational jazz.
