Erik Friedlander Chimera

Recorded Apr 1995, 1995 Avant Records

Personnel :

Erik Friedlander (cello),

Chris Speed (clarinet),

Andrew D'Angelo (bass clarinet)

Drew Gress (bass)

A regular on many a New York new-music session, Friedlander uses the cello as a stand-alone instrument, equally happy as soloist or ensemble player, and he seems unbothered by its few jazz credentials.

"People seem not to know what to expect when you sit down in a band with a cello. Many after a concert come and tell me 'Oh, Cello is my favorite instrument.It is both a compliment and a curse: they seem to really love the lyrical, warm, beautiful side of the cello. That's fine but there's also this whole other kind of playing that I am into."
