Miles Okazaki and Bill Frisell

Miles Okazaki, guitar; Bill Frisell, guitar

Two of the greatest guitarists of our time come together for an incredible evening of music. The virtuosic Miles Okazaki, called “a wildly versatile musician, freakishly precise, but also full of emotion” by The Paris Times, joins the esteemed Bill Frisell, “long hailed as one of the most distinctive and original improvising guitarists of our time” (The New York Times), for this special not-to-be-missed performance.
