Bill Frisell FIVE and Ambrose Akinmusire Owl Song Thursday, October 19 at 8:00pm Jazz in The Concert Hall “Avant-garde jazz isn’t known for its gentleness, but Bill Frisell’s compositions are a fine-spun exception.” — Pitchfork “Ambrose Akinmusire makes music that seems full of contradictions and yet is whole, consistent and coherent.”— London Jazz News |
Bill Frisell’s career as a guitarist and composer has spanned more than 40 years and many celebrated recordings. Recognized as one of America’s 21 most vital and productive performing artists, his catalog has been cited by Downbeat as "the best recorded output of the decade." Ambrose Akinmusire not only asserts himself as one of the best trumpeters in the world, he’s using his voice to dissect the complexity of black life in America. Through his trumpet comes the breath of a black man who’s seen the best and worst of the country, and harnesses it into gorgeous, shape-shifting art. |
