When You Wish Upon A Star is the latest project from legendary guitarist/composer Bill Frisell. The LP is conceived as an homage to music from iconic film and television scores, but is also a celebration of music-making with longtime collaborators and their collective commitment to refined interpretation of material.

This concert brings together an all-star “dream team” of Frisell’s usual suspects: violist Eyvind Kang, drummer Rudy Royston, bass player Thomas Morgan and vocalist Petra Haden. Frisell describes the creative collaborative process of music making as follows: listening to as many versions of the pieces as possible, absorbing the score (harmony, phrasing, arrangement), to then finally, “when it’s in the blood”, delivering one’s own interpretations.
