Four is an extraordinary meditative journey soaring over the melody of 13 tracks centered on loss, friendship and personal renewal. It is a set of original songs interwoven with a few pieces from Frisell's previous artistic career. Accompanying him are a group of musical friends, independent spirits and kindred minds: Gerard Clayton on piano, Johnathan Blake on drums, and his longtime collaborator Greg Tardy on saxophone and clarinet. Recorded during the pandemic, this project is a safe place where each artist's expression emerges in equal parts. Four reflects Frisell's connection to Americana and deft saturation of the blues.
