For over 45 years, Bill Frisell has been a pioneering bandleader, collaborator, prolific composer and celebrated Grammy Award winner. His remarkable range of musical personas - from devotee of jazz master Jim Hall and 'house guitarist' of estimable German label ECM to plaintive bluegrass picker - connects to a diverse range of artists, including Paul Simon, Elvis Costello and Gus Van Sant. Through unprecedented access to the guitarist and his close friends, this book tells Frisell's story for the first time."Stuffed with musical encounters, so many that every couple of pages there's an unheard Frisell recording for the reader to chase down." - NEW YORKER
