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.
