A deep read into one of America’s most versatile guitarists.
The rather straightforward question was posed to guitarist/composer/bandleader Bill Frisell during a phone interview late last year in anticipation of his then forthcoming Austin appearance in January, where he and his trio would be providing the live musical soundtrack for filmmaker Bill Morrison's documentaryKnowing full well Frisell's modesty and self-deprecating reticence, his response was not at all surprising.
Indeed, the Irish-based journalist/author Philip Watson found plenty to talk about in the 500-plus pages of his terrifically engrossing biography that covers the life, music, and philosophy of Bill Frisell, the highly acclaimed, Grammy-winning, and dearly beloved artist who we've been so fortunate to see here in Austin on a regular basis for the past 30 years.
As the book's title would imply, actual dreams play an important part of Frisell's story; in fact, the book opens with a description of a dream that would profoundly influence his whole outlook on making music. In it, every piece of music he's ever heard or imagined is playing simultaneously, yet coalescing into"the most harmonious, beautiful and perfect music.
Watson employs a three-pronged approach to telling Frisell's story.
