Additional Facts
Born in Baltimore, Bill Frisell played clarinet throughout his childhood in

Denver, Colorado. His interest in guitar began with his exposure to pop

music on the radio. Soon, the Chicago Blues became a passion through the

work of Otis Rush, B.B. King, Paul Butterfield and Buddy Guy. In high

school, he played in bands covering pop and soul classics, James Brown

and other dance material.

Later, Bill studied music at the University of

Northern Colorado before attending Berklee College of Music in Boston

where he studied with John Damian, Herb Pomeroy and Michael Gibbs. In

1978, Frisell moved for a year to Belgium where he concentrated on

writing music. In this period, he toured with Michael Gibbs and first recorded with German bassist Eberhard

Weber. Bill moved to the New York City area in 1979 and stayed until 1989. He now lives in Seattle.
