+====== Erik Friedlander ======
+Erik Friedlander is a composer, improviser, classical musician, and a jazzbo. As a longtime virtuosic veteran of [[New York City]]'s downtown scene, he has not only backed well-known artists such as John Zorn, Laurie Anderson, and Courtney Love, but has also recorded eight CDs of his own.
+Friedlander has staked out new ground for his instrument through his compositional choices and dynamic improvising style. He blends his vision of what the cello can be pushed to do, while maintaining a firm grasp on traditions, both improvisational and classical.
+From the beginning, he was the beneficiary of a most unusual musical legacy. His father, photographer Lee Friedlander, famous for the cover photos he took for Atlantic Records in the '60s, transmitted his passion for R&B and [[jazz]] to his son. Erik Friedlander's earliest memories are of a household filled with the sounds of Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, McCoy Tyner, Ornette Coleman, and John Coltrane. He has been playing the cello since the age of eight.
+He is a member of the [[The Tori Ensemble]]
