Bill Frisell (b. 1951)
 This Baltimore-born guitarist rose to prominence as a sideman for several jazz and rock outfits, finally releasing his own work under the ECM label. Citing influences that range from Thelonious Monk and Wes Montgomery to Jimi Hendrix, Frisell has also worked closely with Elvis Costello, Gavin Bryars, John Zorn and Allen Ginsberg, to name but a few. Often ranked as one of the best guitarists of the last few decades, Frisell is an intelligent and often humorous player, with a diverse style that ranges from the mellow lounge jazz of his Costello/Bacharach arrangements to his dissonant outburts with Zorn's Naked City.
