Don Friedman may be one of the best-kept secrets in jazz, in spite of a lengthy career and numerous recordings as a leader. Bassist Ron McClure and drummer Matt Wilson join him for one of his finest studio sessions, made in 1995 for Steeplechase. His four original compositions, particularly the intense "Waltz for Marilyn," find the trio at its creative peak with lots of terrific interplay. His bandmates also brought along their contributions. Wilson's mysterious "Twigs and Branches" is an impressionistic piece that segues from a gentle breeze into a full-fledged storm. McClure's "El Niño" does not produce the expected hurricane but instead a gentle, bittersweet bossa nova. All three standards tackled by the trio are familiar fare for jazz musicians, though they give each of them a personal touch, especially the brisk, offbeat arrangement of "Emily." Highly recommended.

Don Friedman
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: May 04, 1935 in San Francisco, CA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Hard Bop, Mainstream Jazz, Post-Bop
An excellent if underrated pianist, Don Friedman started off playing on the West Coast in 1956 with Dexter Gordon, Shorty Rogers, Buddy Collette, Buddy DeFranco (1956-1957), Chet Baker, and even the unknown altoist Ornette Coleman. After moving to New York in 1958, Friedman played in many settings, including with his own trio, Pepper Adams, Booker Little (recording with him in 1961), the Jimmy Giuffre Three (1964), a quartet with Attila Zoller, Chuck Wayne's trio (1966-1967), and, by the end of the decade, Clark Terry's big band. He has continued working in New York as both a jazz educator and a pianist with wide musical interests and he was featured on Concord's Maybeck Recital Hall series (1993). Don Friedman -- who also recorded for Riverside, Prestige, Progressive, Owl, Empathy, and several Japanese labels -- is not to be confused with vibraphonist David Friedman.
