About
Bill Frisell’s In My Dreams is a family reunion of sorts, which brings some of the acclaimed guitarist’s closest friends together into a unique sextet featuring Jenny Scheinman on violin, Eyvind Kang on viola, Hank Roberts on cello, Thomas Morgan on bass, and Rudy Royston on drums. Their deep musical history goes back decades, though never before in this particular configuration, and together they travel wide expanses of American music including Frisell originals as well as Jazz and Americana staples. Produced by Lee Townsend, the album will be released as part of Frisell’s 75th birthday celebrations.

Awards and reviews
Ultimately, In My Dreams is not a metaphor but a direct invocation of the dream that has become Frisell's private creation myth. The album's title signals his intention to pursue, as closely as possible, the "real music" revealed to him in that vision - through his choice of ensemble, his repertoire, and the delicate balance he strikes between live spontaneity and sculpted sound.
April 2026
Part nostalgic reverie and part deep dive into the compositional process, he seems to be digging deep in a voyage of self-discovery.
