• GENERAL BOOKING OPENS FRIDAY 16 OCTOBER, 10AM.

Bill Frisell’s trio, with Thomas Morgan on bass and Rudy Royston on drums, combines exceptional musical empathy with a spirit of spontaneity.

Drawing on Frisell’s extensive catalogue alongside popular, folk and jazz standards, the trio creates performances that are interactive, conversational, and full of invention. Effortlessly shifting between intimacy, lyricism, and groove, they bring fresh perspective and surprise to every performance.

“Guitar great Bill Frisell explores the creative freedom of the trio format on his album, Valentine, alongside his longtime trio compadres bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston… this trio performs a wide-ranging program of Frisell compositions old and new as well as classics and standards, showcasing the profound musical relationship they have formed in their years of touring together.” JAZZIZ

“With Valentine, Frisell, Royston and Morgan revel in the tight but loose interplay that is a hallmark of the best groups, plying a course as deeply lyrical as it is adventurous. Feels like the beginning of a great adventure.” AllAboutJazz

“[‘We Shall Overcome’ is] about as beautiful an instrumental as you’ll ever hear. Frisell’s leads are nothing short of a work of art, letting the powerful melody take up as much space as it needs, all the while wrapping it in silky-smooth jazz touches that’ll leave you shaking your head in wonder.” Guitar World
