Bill Frisell's Big Sur Quintet
California central coasters will feel an immediate connection to the new project by guitarist Bill Frisell, as it was commissioned by the Monterey Jazz Festival and was written at, and inspired by, Big Sur’s Glen Deven Ranch. A pastoral rendering of the wooded California coastline, Frisell’s unique combination of jazz, blues and country compliments the scenery perfectly. The Big Sur Quintet is comprised of string players Jenny Scheinman, Eyvind Kang and Hank Roberts, as well as drummer Rudy Royston; together with Frisell succeeding in bringing the majesty of Big Sur to the stage.
