IMPROVISED ROOTS SERIES PRESENTED BY GREG GARRISON AND RON MILES KICKS OFF WITH BILL FRISELL AND BRYAN SUTTON AT DAZZLE JAZZ CLUB JULY 16-17

Bill Frisell
Denver bassist Greg Garrison, in association with trumpet luminary Ron Miles and Dazzle Jazz Club, has created a new concert series called the Improvised Roots Series, which kicks off on July 16 and 17, 2011 at Dazzle. The series is designed to feature nationally known artists from the folk/bluegrass and jazz worlds performing together with some of Denver’s finest open-minded improvisers. The first concerts feature a unique pairing of two Grammy winning guitarists performing alongside Garrison and Miles: Bill Frisell and Bryan Sutton.

Garrison says, "I think the music we'll play will wind up being a really interesting cross section of American styles. Some bluegrass and folk tunes, some original compositions, and who knows what else. I've worked with Bryan a bunch with Chris Thile and on a couple of his own things, and Frisell and Ron are two of my biggest musical heroes, so I couldn't be more excited about what's going to happen on those two nights!"
