Jazz at the Lobero brings Bill Frisell back to the Lobero Theatre for his newest creative project, When You Wish Upon a Star, 8 p.m. Jan. 24, at 33 E. Canon Perdido St., Santa Barbara.
Hailed as “the most innovative and influential guitarist of the past 25 years” (Wall Street Journal), 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 Grammy-nominated album When You Wish Upon a Star features his arrangements and interpretations of music for film and TV.
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.
Frisell 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 TV favorites, including The Roy Rogers Show and Bonanza.
