The latest release from the technically adept, immensely intuitive bassist and pianist David Friesen is titled “Pieces of a Puzzle.” The spiritually minded performer whose music touches upon contemporary jazz, folk, world traditions, and acoustic post-bop can be found in the traditional jazz style on this 2020 release. A regular presence in the Pacific Northwest since his emergence in the late '60s, Friesen initially garnered acclaim for a series of textural and earthy albums recorded with guitarist John Stowell in the '70s, and has paired for equally compelling dates with such luminaries as Chick Corea, Joe Henderson, Mal Waldron, Denny Zeitlin, and others.
