Baghdad/Seattle Suite at Walker Art Center
As Bill Frisell’s reputation for innovative, improvisational jazz-guitar work expanded over three decades, so did his list of collaborators, eventually encompassing both John Zorn and Elvis Costello. His discography includes a considerable run of widely varied solo albums: Floratone found Frisell chopping up and looping his eclectic jams into new configurations, while 2008’s History, Mystery comprises short works written for a guitar-and-strings octet, as well as a multimedia collaboration with comic-book artist Jim Woodring. For this new East-meets-West project, Frisell and Seattleite violinst Eyvind Kang team up with Iraqi oud master Rahim AlHaj.
