Guitar innovator Bill Frisell’s 858 Quartet combines chamber music with jazz and Americana. The ensemble plays compositions written by Frisell for an exhibition with paintings by Gerhard Richter, alongside works by Hank Williams, Lee Konitz and Thelonious Monk. ‘This is unmistakably a Frisell project. The compositions have the mixture of melancholy, ragged harmonic content, and offbeat playfulness that runs throughout his oeuvre’ (New York Times).
