Bill Frisell and Ambrose Akinmusire

Bill Frisell and Ambrose Akinmusire

Guitarist and composer Bill Frisell has spent more than four decades redefining the sound of
modern jazz, earning widespread acclaim and a Grammy Award for his genre-blurring work. A
Doris Duke Artist and frequent Blue Note Records collaborator, his evocative style bridges
Americana, improvisation, and composition. 

Trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire is one of his generation’s most daring voices, a critically
lauded composer with multiple Grammy Award nominations and commissions from leading
institutions. 

Together, they create music that is rooted in jazz traditions, forward-looking, and emotionally
resonant.
