The definitive biography of guitar icon and Grammy Award-winning
artist Bill Frisell. FEATURING EXCLUSIVE LISTENING SESSIONS WITH:
Paul Simon; Justin Vernon of Bon Iver; Gus Van Sant; Rhiannon
Giddens; The Bad Plus; Gavin Bryars; Van Dyke Parks; Sam Amidon;
Hal Willner; Jim Woodring; Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill 'A
beautiful and long overdue portrait of one of America's true living
cultural treasures.' JOHN ZORN 'The perfect companion-piece to the
music of its subject.' MOJO 'Outlines the subject's life in a
series of scrupulous strokes and intimate interviews that are rare
in such undertakings . . . a cool, casual victory.' IRISH TIMES
Over a period of forty-five years, Bill Frisell has established
himself as one of the most innovative and influential musicians at
work today. A quietly revolutionary guitar hero for our
genre-blurring times, he connects to a diverse range of artists and
admirers, including Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens,
Gus Van Sant and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, all of whom feature in
this book. A vital addition to any music lover's book collection,
Bill Frisell, Beautiful Dreamer tells the legendary guitarist'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 'Bill Frisell, Beautiful
Dreamer is the definitive biography.' BILL MILKOWSKI, DOWNBEAT
'Superb . . . the book races along like Sonny Rollins in full sail.
Like subject, like writer: this is super-articulate, adventurous
prose.' PERSPECTIVE '[Watson's] writing balances unbridled passion
and dispassionate research nearly as deftly as Mr. Frisell's
playing does sound and silence . . . compelling.' WALL STREET
