Bill Frisell - Four

The guitarist and composer’s 3rd album for Blue Note Records since signing with the label in 2019 proffers new interpretations of previously recorded Frisell originals as well as nine new tunes. The line-up of musical friends, independent spirits, and like minds: Gerald Clayton on piano and Johnathan Blake on drums, and long-time collaborator Greg Tardy on saxophone, clarinet, and bass clarinet.

Aspects of Four reflect Frisell’s affection for Americana, and skilled saturation of blues. ‘The [music and] album reflect this first moment in time when we were, all four, together, playing these songs,” he says. “Music is incredible that way because we’ll never play these songs this way again.”
