Release Notes:
David Friedman, internationally renowned vibraphonist, marimbist,
composer and jazz educator, has his own musical message, born of
fascinatingly diverse musical influences. Few jazz musicians can
claim as broad a spectrum of performing and recording experience,
with such varied musical personalities as Leonard Bernstein,
Luciano Berio, Bobby McFerrin, Wayne Shorter and Yoko Ono. The
list doesn`t stop there. Friedman has been heard either live or on
recordings with, among others, Joe Henderson, Horace Silver,
Johnny Griffin, Jane Ira Bloom, Ron Carter and John Scofield. His
compositions are featured on Chet Baker`s award winning Enja
release, Peace, with bassist Buster Williams and drummer Joe
Chambers. Friedman is also the featured soloist on this recording.
In 1977, Friedman co-founded the unique vibe-marimba quartet,
Double Image, which was nominated for a german "Grammy". Their
album, "Double Image", was just re-released as a special edition
by Enja Records.
riedman's Enja release Shades of Change, with pianist Gerry Allen,
bassist Anthony Cox and drummer Ronnie Burrage, was voted by
Downbeat Magazine as "One of the year`s best 20 CD". Friedman`s
trio playing with star drummer Daniel Humair and bassist J.F.
Jenny-Clarke, documented on their 1992 live release Ternaire,
showcases modern, interactive jazz improvisation, ranging from an
agressive driving swing to tender lyricism.
As a leader in percussion and jazz education, David Friedman heads
the Jazz department at the Hochschule der K?nste in Berlin,
Germany. As Professor of Jazz studies since 1989. He is also the
author of Mirror From Another, Warners Bros. Publications, a
collection of pedagogical etudes for the vibraphone and Vibraphone
Technique, Dampening and Pedaling, Berklee Press Publications,
distributed by Hal Leonard. Mallet players and percussionists
worldwide consider this work to be the most important book on the
art of phrasing for the vibraphone.
Friedman is a devoted teacher and an inspiration to his students,
while still an active performer and composer.
riedman's project with bandoneonist Dino Saluzzi, Astor Piazzola's
heir to modern Tango, is a synthesis of American jazz and ethnic
improvisation, Gifted bassist, Anthony Cox, completes the trio ..
This1996 CD release, "Rios", on Intuition Records, has been called
"a true work of art" by the Chicago Tribune.
