Don Friedman

Pianist Don Friedman's sessionography reads like a jazz encyclopedia. A favorite choice on the keys for his tasteful yet progressive playing, he has played with luminaries from Booker Little to Jimmy Giuffre to Clark Terry. Friedman now leads a piano trio and we spoke with him after a successful engagement at the Kitano in February.
