Guitarist Bill Frisell formed this occasional group in 2002 to produce music inspired by eight Gerhard Richter abstract paintings entitled 858-1 to 858-8, which were eventually packaged as the 2005 CD Richter 858. Though hints of Frisell's famous country-jazz impressionism and waltzing momentum were present, this was music far closer to the cool ambiguities of the paintings themselves. The lineup included guitar, violin, viola and cello, so they were, in effect, an electric guitar-led string quartet, and played with an idiosyncratic, folksy, contemporary-classical solemnity. ---theguardian.com
