Bill Frisell (born 1951) is an American guitarist, composer and arranger who has ranked among the leading jazz guitarists since the late 1980s. He first made his name on ECM Records, then became a fixture of the New York downtown scene, with a long partnership with John Zorn. His soft, floating tone and his mix of jazz, folk, country and Americana are instantly recognisable. In February 2026 he released In My Dreams on Blue Note, as part of his 75th-birthday celebrations.
Bill Frisell released on February 27, 2026 the album In My Dreams, his fifth on Blue Note, with a sextet featuring Jenny Scheinman, Eyvind Kang, Hank Roberts, Thomas Morgan and Rudy Royston.
The single 'Isfahan', Frisell's version of Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington's composition, was released on February 6, 2026 ahead of the album.
Frisell celebrated the album and his 75th birthday with a series of concerts in the USA from March 2026, starting with two nights at Blue Note Los Angeles.
