Equal parts mesmerising and electric, Grammy Award winning jazz guitarist Bill Frisell returns to Sydney for one-night-only.

For over 40 years, the extraordinarily original and prolific Bill Frisell has been a seminal figure in modern American music. From jazz, bluegrass, country, rock and roll, to folk, interwoven with metamorphic splendour and bursts of the avant-garde, Frisell's sound traverses contemporary American musical history, whilst always maintaining a uniquely identifiable sound.

Frisell is a twelve-time Best Guitarist winner in the DownBeat Critics Poll and alongside the 45 albums in his own name, he has contributed to projects with fellow jazz luminaries John Scoffield, Chick Corea, Jim Hall, John Zorn, Ron Carter, Dave Holland and Charlie Haden, and collaborated with popular artists Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, Sting, Bono and Bonnie Raitt.

Joined in Sydney by two of the world's most in-demand jazz musicians - Thomas Morgan (bass), and Rudy Royston (drums), this special concert features music from the 2020 Valentine album which DownBeat dubbed "jazz playing at its most sublime."

Back in Sydney after six long years, do not miss this iconic voice in music delivering big-sky grooves with one of jazz's most deeply interactive trios.

The Bill Frisell Trio is supported in Sydney by Gary Daley Quartet.
