Reviews:

JAZZREVIEW: "The outstanding bassist David Friesen teams up with longtime friend and partner, pianist-psychiatrist Denny Zeitlin, for a live set of exquisite one-on-one music making...a nuanced joy."

TIROLER TAGESZEITUNG, Martin Volgger (Austria): Tageszeitung/Austria: "Denny Zeitlin and David Friesen's deep private friendship has donated a few exciting duo recordings to Jazz. Their latest CD—recorded live at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles, CA fits in that row. Two extraordinary musical personalities have an intimidate dialogue that goes very deep into the musical realm. Whether with standards or originals, and because of Zeitlin and Friesen's free concept of playing plus the extreme contrapuntal exchanges between the two, the music is filled with enthusiasm and creates a captivating atmosphere. Lastly, because the music doesn't follow well known clichés, it becomes a very lively (vivid) and completely timeless musical document."

JAZZ TIMES (Germany): "Two virtuosos on their instruments took the Jazz Bakery by storm."

JAZZTHETIC (Germany): "The whole range of musical dialogue is shown by Zeitlin and Friesen in their live recording 'Live at The Jazz Bakery.' Intense musical interaction."

CABINET NIGHTFLIGHT (Germany): "What the two master-bakers produced at the Jazz Bakery is not just a common breakfast, it's also brunch and dinner with dessert simultaneously."
