Pre-Order: David Friesen - Interplay Variations [CD]

After meeting in a Greenwich Village club exactly 50 years ago, bassist David Friesen and guitarist John Stowell quickly formed a musical bond, spending the next 8 years performing internationally and recording multiple acclaimed albums together, including their 1978 album "Through the Looking Glass" which was named one of the Top 10 albums of the '70s by The Los Angeles Examiner. With Interplay Variations, that half century of musical friendship returns with their first new recording together in many decades. Built on trust, deep listening, and the freedom of spontaneous creation, their conversations move through a series of musical vignettes, sometimes tender, sometimes searching, but always alive in the moment. "John Stowell plays jazz, but he doesn't use any of the cliches; he has an incredible originality. John is a master creator." - Larry Coryell "One of the most eminent exponents of the instrument, (Friesen) maintains an astonishing level of virtuosity."
