While staying at the Glen Deven Ranch, Frisell was captivated by the beauty and grandeur of the Big Sur, California coastline which inspired him to write this transcendent new music. He is joined on the recording by the talented musicians of his Big Sur Quintet; Jenny Scheinman (violin), Eyvind Kang (viola), Hank Roberts (cello) and Rudy Royston (drums). Bill Frisell is one of the leading and most innovative guitarists of our time. Although his work is steeped in jazz, his music includes characteristics of rock, country, and bluegrass, among various other styles. Such liberality explains his willingness to expand his tonal palette beyond that of the typical jazz guitarist and he has carved out a niche by virtue of his sound. A Grammy winner for Best Contemporary Jazz Album in 2005, Bill is one of the most singular musicians of his generation and has released over 30 albums since his debut recording in 1983. ## Images ![Big Sur - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vFof0QBhL.jpg) ![Big Sur - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/515biLNjdtL.jpg) ![Big Sur - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41KkhmaGtFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ I like most of Bill's other stuff much more *by J***H on October 20, 2016* I typically love all of Bill's stuff, including albums that are less popular. I'm not really digging this one, though. And it's not so much any issue with Bill's playing, and I pretty much like the drums, too. There's no bass player for any of these tracks (TTBOMK), which kind of leaves 'holes' in the sound, for some songs (the bass drum can be a little overwhelming, because it's the only thing making sound at those frequencies). For numbers with very light or no percussion, it's not an issue.The album that I kind of reference, for right or wrong, is The Intercontinentals, for something kind of similar. I like that album a lot more though. The only bass on that album was done by Bill, so it's not on every track. But I don't hear 'holes' in the sound in the same way.This probably isn't very helpful, and many die-hard B.F. fans could very well love this album. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Big Album for Big Sur *by K***L on January 29, 2014* Guitarist Bill Frisell never ceases to surprise. He has a great way of discovering a thread when visiting a place, such as Nashville or the northern California coast, and writing about it, using that thread throughout the album. Here, he draws classical musicians into the mix, so the listener gets a range of sounds. The music was memorable and impressive -- enough for a solid four stars -- but I tend to save the five-star ratings for the truly extraordinary. This album was a little too laidback and drawn out for that rating. But definitely worth adding to the Frisell section on the CD shelf. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice stuff *by B***3 on November 11, 2013* You can never be sure what your going to get from one Frisell release to the next. This time out he's back in the Americana vein, and if you like his other Americana releases in the past, you're bound to enjoy this one as well. There isn't much emphasis on individual solos like you can hear on some of his more jazz inspired releases, but rather the band moving from one place to another as a unit. It's beautiful and compelling music, as good as anything Frisell has ever done. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/5670741-big-sur](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/5670741-big-sur) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
