SUMMARY:Bill Frisell Trio
DESCRIPTION:This is a seated General Admission event in the Chandelier Hall at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts and is the headline performance of the 2026 Wilkes-Barre Cavalcade of Jazz.\nBUY TICKETS HERE\n \n\nBill Frisell’s career as a guitarist and composer has spanned more than 40 years and many celebrated recordings\, whose catalog has been cited by Downbeat as “the best recorded output of the decade”.\n\n \n\n“Frisell has had a lot of practice putting high concept into a humble package. Long hailed as one of the most distinctive and original improvising guitarists of our time\, he has also earned a reputation for teasing out thematic connections with his music… There’s a reason that Jazz at Lincoln Center had him program a series called Roots of Americana.”  – New York Times\n\n \n\nHis latest recording is Valentine\, on Blue Note\, a trio album with Thomas Morgan (bass) and Rudy Royston (drums) that has been hailed as “a masterpiece” by Downbeat.  “They consistently and strikingly play as one\, voices intertwined\, completing phrases as if sharing a single thought… Even overdubs are so perfect that everything feels utterly organic… the performances represent jazz playing at its most sublime.”\n\n \n\nFrisell’s recent album\, HARMONY and has been described in the New York Times as follows:\n\n \n\n“The eminent guitarist improvises in smoky ringlets of melody\, drawing the influence of classic jazz guitar into a palette based on early American folk music. HARMONY finds Frisell playing smoldering original compositions along with a few covers alongside vocalist Petra Haden\, cellist Hank Roberts and guitarist and bassist Luke Bergman.”\n\n \n\nRecognized as one of America’s 21 most vital and productive performing artists\, Frisell was named an inaugural Doris Duke Artist in 2012.  He is also a recipient of grants from United States Artists\, Meet the Composer among others.  In 2016\, he was a beneficiary of the first FreshGrass Composition commission to preserve and support innovative grassroots music.  Upon San Francisco Jazz opening their doors in 2013\, he served as one of their Resident Artistic Directors.  Bill is also the subject of a documentary film by director Emma Franz\, entitled Bill Frisell: A Portrait\, which
