The Westerlies Play Bill Frisell: Classical Musician in New York

About The Westerlies Play Bill Frisell

The Westerlies Play Bill Frisell is a project pairing brass quartet The Westerlies with guitarist and composer Bill Frisell. Built around an album-release program, the group brings Frisell’s cross-genre writing into dialogue with a front line of two trumpets and two trombones, shaped by jazz, contemporary classical, and folk practice. In New York City they appear at Roulette, a venue known for experimental music and artist-led performances. The playing favors ensemble blend and restraint over spectacle, letting arrangements and tone color carry the narrative.
