The 75th Celebration Tour: Bill Frisell Trio at Blue Note Los Angeles
HOLLYWOOD, CA – One of the most distinctive and influential guitarists of the last 40 years, Bill Frisell, brings his “75th Celebration Tour” to Blue Note Los Angeles. The legendary musician will headline a special two-night engagement on Wednesday, March 4, and Thursday, March 5, 2026, featuring his trio with Luke Bergman (bass) and Tim Angulo (drums).
Frisell, whose career has spanned dozens of celebrated recordings, is widely praised for his ability to weave together disparate threads of the American musical landscape—from jazz and avant-garde to folk, country, and rock. His 75th birthday residency serves as a retrospective of his vast catalog, which Downbeat has cited as “the best recorded output of the decade.”
A Humble Master of Improvisation
Long hailed by the New York Times for his ability to “put high concept into a humble package,” Frisell’s trio format allows for the intimate, conversational improvisation that has become his hallmark. This specific lineup features:

Luke Bergman: A versatile bassist known for his work across the Seattle and New York jazz scenes.

Tim Angulo: A rising powerhouse drummer whose rhythmic sensitivity perfectly complements Frisell’s ethereal, atmospheric guitar style.

Attendees can expect a setlist that showcases Frisell’s “Roots of Americana” sensibilities, characterized by shifting textures, loops, and a melodic clarity that makes even his most complex improvisations feel accessible and warm.

What begins as a strictly professional rhythm of dictation and coffee quickly evolves into a combustible relationship, fueled by the smoky atmosphere of the era’s jazz underground.

A Time Machine in a New York Home: Open Fist Presents ‘Brownstone’
LOS ANGELES, CA — Open Fist Theatre Company presents the Los Angeles premiere of Brownstone, a “bittersweet comedic drama” by Catherine Butterfield. Directed by Ron West, the production transforms the stage into a chronological time machine, unfolding within the walls of a single New York brownstone across three distinct eras.
The play explores the echoes of the past, illustrating how the cadences of life change while human desires remain timeless. The stories of three different couples occupy the same space simultaneously, creating a “supernatural” atmosphere where the walls reverberate with the ghosts of previous tenants.
Three Eras, One Address
The narrative hopscotches through time, introducing audiences to residents from different centuries:

1937: Stephen and Davia (Matthew Goodrich and Chelsea Spirito), a pampered, wealthy couple of the Great Depression era who dream of escaping to Paris.

1978: Deena and Maureen (Rosie Byrne and Amber Tiara), starry-eyed aspiring actresses struggling to find their big break in the gritty New York of the late ’70s.

1999: Jason and Jessica (Isaac W. Jay and Jade Santana), a self-absorbed “power couple” navigating the cutthroat ambitions of the new millennium.

The Creative Vision
Playwright Catherine Butterfield was inspired by the unique architecture and “almost supernatural” feel of classic brownstones. Director Ron West (known for deLEARious and This Week, This Week) highlights the synchronicity between the eras, noting that while social conventions shift, the underlying human experience rarely does.

The vibe is sharp and spirited, balancing biting political satire with the poignant struggles of a community caught in a time of rapid change. As the town’s most powerful figures scramble to curate a perfect image for their visitor, the production captures the clash between public reputation and private integrity with wit and heart.
Featuring a stellar ensemble—including Alice Kremelberg, Damian O’Hare, David Daniel Offner, Mies Van Rooijen, Phil Burke, and Pilot Paisley-Rose—the cast brings raw, vibrant life to this clash of personalities.
