Bill Frisell's Big Sur Quintet

Grammy-winning guitarist Bill Frisell and the Big Sur Quintet pay tribute to one of folk music’s preeminent figures with This Land — Woody Guthrie’s Better World. Best known for the classic “This Land Is Your Land,” Guthrie was at the helm of the folk music revival of the mid-20th century and a major influence on the likes of Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. Genre-bending Frisell has established himself as one of the great storytellers of jazz guitar and he’ll draw inspiration from Guthrie’s music and views on the racial, social, and economic struggles of his time. At this Valley Performing Arts Center performance, Frisell — along with violinist Jenny Scheinman, violist Eyvind Kang, cellist Hank Roberts and drummer Rudy Royston — will explore the lineage of protest songs, while re-imagining familiar melodies through his characteristic adventurous perspective.
