Jazz guitar great Bill Frisell will release In My Dreams, his fifth album for Blue Note, on February 27. The album features his new sextet that includes friends Jenny Scheinman on violin, Eyvind Kang on viola, Hank Roberts on cello, Thomas Morgan on bass, and Rudy Royston on drums. “Our history goes back decades,” says Frisell. “I’ve spent so much time with these folks. Traveled many miles. But that doesn’t mean we’re done. We’re just getting started.” He’s shared the gorgeous title track and you can listen to that below.
Bill will celebrate the new album and his 75th birthday shows in March. He’s given himself the day off on his actual birthday (3/18) but stops include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Kansas City, Tulsa, and Philadelphia. He’s got two nights in NYC at Lincoln Center’s Appel Room on March 27 & 28. All dates are listed below.
