His versions of some of that music show up on several of his albums. <em>When You Wish Upon A Star<\/em> takes his fascination a long step further. It contains nothing but his interpretations of music from screens large and small, going back to 1940 for the title track. Most of the pieces, however, are from his formative years in the 1950s and later. The themes played by his quintet include works by sound track heroes Mancini, Mandel, Morricone, Raksin, Barry, Hermann and Rota, with Dale Evans (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Happy Trails\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) and Frisell himself (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tales From The Far Side\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) added for good measure. The band is Frisell, vocalist Petra Haden, violist Eyvind Kang, bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston. They blend, contrast,&#8221;\u00a0surprise and amuse. Concentrated listening is&#8221;\u00a0rewarded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Frisell, When You Wish Upon A Star (Okeh) Much of guitarist Frisell\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s early exposure to music was by way of the sound tracks of motion pictures and television programs.
