“Unforgettable themes are the real draw here, reconfigured with ingenuity, wit and affection by Frisell and a terrific group.”- Jazz Times on “When You Wish Upon A Star”

Santa Barbara, CA, November 28, 2018 – Jazz at the Lobero is pleased to welcome Bill Frisell back to the Lobero for his newest creative project, “When You Wish Upon a Star” on January 24. Hailed as “the most innovative and influential guitarist of the past 25 years” (Wall Street Journal), Bill Frisell has seen collaborations with the likes of Elvis Costello, Bono, Paul Simon, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic over the course of his 35- year career.

His GRAMMYÒ-nominated album When You Wish Upon a Star features his arrangements and interpretations of music for film and television. The album is more than an homage to a set of iconic scores; Frisell draws upon the passion of the music heard on screen and how it shapes and informs our emotional relationships to what we see. The guitarist will be joined by bassist Thomas Morgan, drummer Rudy Royston, and singer Petra Haden in reimagining time-honored gems like “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” as well as music from television favorites, including The Roy Rogers Show and Bonanza.
