Trichotomy to support Bill Frisell Trio – June 5th 2019
A shining light of Americana, New York-based Frisell is “the most innovative and influential jazz guitarist of the past 25 years” (The Wall Street Journal) and has collaborated with some of the greatest pop artists of our time including Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, Sting, Brian Eno, Lou Reed and Marianne Faithfull, along with jazz luminaries John Scoffield, Chick Corea, Ron Carter, Pat Metheny and the late Charlie Haden.
With Frisell joined by bass player Thomas Morgan (Paul Motian, Dave Binney Quartet) and drummer Rudy Royston (Branford Marsalis, The Mingus Big Band), you’ll revel in a spell – binding sonic journey that features new music from his latest releases, Small Town and Music IS, alongside reimagined classics from his extensive catalogue.
Don’t miss this iconic voice in music – part skewered jazz, part roadside folk blues and part gritty rock, delivering big-sky grooves with one of jazz’s most deeply interactive trios.

Trichotomy takes its genre busting sound to new heights in an evening of wonderfully unpredictable, absorbing and distinctive music. The trio’s engaging improvisatory interplay will be perfectly matched by the textural depth and rich harmony of 11 QSO musicians, underscored by the intensely rhythmic sound that Trichotomy has made its own.
Reminiscent of sounds from Steve Reich, Pat Metheny and John Zorn, this concert will feature new Trichotomy material plus inventive re-workings of a range of work from previous albums.
This is the acclaimed Brisbane based contemporary music trio’s debut performance with QSO musicians.
As The Edge is a licensed venue, children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
