Grammy Award-winning jazz guitarist Bill Frisell hails from Baltimore, Maryland. His recording career spans three decades during which he has released more than 30 albums. Frisell's career as an artist is broadly defined by geography rather than any particular ensemble and can be broken down into two critical periods - the time he spent on the east coast in New York and the time spent in the north west in Seattle. In the 1980s Frisell was an active particpant in New York's vibrant jazz scene and he performed and recorded with a huge number of artists as well as playing in his own highly regarded quartet. During the '90s Frisell had relocated to Seattle and it was during his time here that two of his most popular albums were recorded. The '92 album 'Have a Little Faith' was a journey through America's rich musical history and featured sources of inspiration as diverse as Aaron Copeland and John Hiatt. 'Have a Little Faith' was followed up two years later by 'This Land', a collection of original songs performed by some outstanding jazz musicians which was widely acclaimed at the time in the specialist jazz press. Frisell has adopted Seattle as his home base and continues to tour and record.
