Quotes
Bassist David Friesen is a Phenomenon, a player whose musicianship, tone,time and imagination are uncategorizable.
Nat Hentoff
One of the most eminent exponents of the instrument, he maintains an astonishing level of virtuosity.
Leonard Feather/Los Angeles Times
David Friesen's music is extremely complex while retaining a simple beauty, it's liltingly melodic, full of open space, and refreshingly peaceful.
Lee Hildebrand/San Francisco Music Express
Anyone who was lucky enough to see David Friesen live on stage, who could see how he bends in near contemplation over his unique instrument which has been manufactured in Austria, how he strikes the strings with his left(!) hand in order to drum complex rhythms on the body of the instrument with his right hand, now begins to understand: A creative search has come to its destination with great feeling. His equally sensible as well as technically overwhelming performance is a big tribute to the bass as an instrument, an ongoing struggle on the expansion of its musical functionality.
Alexander Marzahn/Basel, Switzerland
