Don Friedman

Description

[Machine Translation] An unquestionable masterpiece by the renowned pianist Don Friedman, who made his dashing debut in the 1950s with a number by his friend Bill Evans. He made his dashing debut in the 1950s. He honed his skills in the bands of Chet Baker and others, and in the 1960s released the classic album "Circle Waltz. Don Friedman's lyricism, similar to that of his friend Bill Evans, made him the top pianist in the world. Evans passed away at a young age, but Friedman continued to play energetically until his death in 2016 at the age of 81. This album is his finest work of his mature period, and he is perfectly in tune with Harvey S. (Harvey Schwartz) on bass. His interpretation of Evans' signature original, "Turn Out the Stars," is also superb.

Description in Japanese

ナイト・ライツ / ドン・フリードマン

名ピアニスト、ドン・フリードマンの文句なしの会心作。友人ビル・エヴァンスのナンバーも演奏。1950年代に颯爽とデビュー。チェット・ベイカー等のバンドで腕を磨き、60年代に入ると名盤『サークル・ワルツ』を発表。友人であったというビル・エヴァンスに通じるリリシズムでトップ・ピアニストの座を不動のものにしたのがドン・フリードマンです。エヴァンスは若くして他界してしまいましたが、フリードマンは2016年に81歳で亡くなるまで元気なプレイを続けました。このアルバムは彼にとって円熟期の最高作といえるもので、ハーヴィー・S (ハーヴィー・シュワルツ) のベースとの息もぴったり。エヴァンスの代表的オリジナル曲「ターン・アウト・ザ・スターズ」の解釈も見事です。
