CD Is A Burning Trio Set Steeped in the Influences of Oscar Pettiford and the Small Group Feel of Herbie Nichols
"This is effervescent small-group jazz executed with wit and soul." -Nate Chinen, The New York Times
On his new release, The Broken Arm, cellist Erik Friedlander highlights his unique pizzicato playing--higher and more incisive than the bass, warmer than the piano, but similarly rhythmic and able to freely engage in the give-and-take that is so essential to the jazz. “While there have been a few groundbreaking practitioners, notably bassist Oscar Pettiford, the cello has a tenuous connection to jazz, and is still considered a novelty,” explains Friedlander. “The cello is an untapped resource and I'm looking to create some new lasting traditions.”
