His vast discography contains a number of albums with »americano«, which is the main feature of his recent project since it brings back music from the times when men travelled to the moon, the electrical guitar has only been making its way into popular music, and when creativity was still allowed.\n\nThe Byrds, The Kinks, The Beach Boys, also Chet Atkins and Pete Seeger were the first musicians influencing Frisell in his teenage years. Of course the band is more than just a tribute to teenage influences: Frisell chose his long-time colleagues, congenial drummer Kenny Wollesen, and bassist Tony Sherr, and the guitar is in the hands of Greg Leisz, an exceptional guitarist who is known to have played in the bands of Joni Mitchell, k.d. lang, Emmylou Harris, and Beck.\n\nThey say Frisell plays the guitar like Miles Davis played the trumpet: gently, but passionate, with typical sounds coming from everywhere and going who knows where. The concert of his newest band is a must see for everyone who enjoys electrical guitar and classical American pop and rock music.
