Bill Frisell’s GUITAR IN THE SPACE AGE!

Always on the lookout for opportunities to \"dig around for where I\'m coming from,\" Bill Frisell presents an homage to the instrumental popular music made \"right at the birth of the Fender Telecaster guitar\" that, he recalls, \"got me super fired up\" about his instrument of choice. Frisell is joined by fellow guitar master Greg Leisz on electric and pedal steel guitars, and his trio partners Tony Scherr on bass and Kenny Wollesen on drums. Together they will be exploring music of the electric guitar in the space age inspired by artists such as Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant, Charlie Christian, Merle Travis, Link Wray, Duane Eddy, Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Dick Dale, The Ventures, The Astronauts, The Wrecking Crew, The Beach Boys and more. As on all Frisell projects, the proceedings will be, he understates, \"rich with possibility.\"
