Bill Frisell - Valentine

2020 release

Valentine explores the creative freedom of the trio format and the profound relationship that exists between these three musicians after years of touring. The album was produced by Lee Townsend, recorded by Tucker Martine, and features cover artwork by Carole D’Inverno, graphic design by Luke Jacobs, and videos by Monica Jane Frisell.

DownBeat awarded Valentine a 5-star “Masterpiece” rating with reviewer J.D. Considine writing “Even though the selections on Valentine hail from a range of styles the performances represent jazz playing at its most sublime,” and praising how the trio “consistently and strikingly play as one, voices intertwined, completing phrases as if sharing a single thought.”
