Following 2020's \"Testimony,\" which featured that ensemble, Friesen began on this masterwork with the premier set for the Philharmonic Hall in Kyiv in May of 2022. With that date becoming an impossiblility, Gordon instead sculpted the orchestra in his Los Angeles studio with a sample library and an ear trained in producing for expansive, sweeping film and TV soundtracks. Interacting with the duo of Friesen, pianist Paul Lees along with percussionists Charlie Doggett \u0026amp; Rob Moore, the suite unfolds as a spiritual light that offers forgiveness, hope and purpose, through movements such as \"Perseverance,\" \"Innocence,\" \"Tides Turning,\" and the hymn-like \"Return To The Father,\" written for his wife of 58 years who passed away during a tragic week that included the invasion of Ukraine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecovery for Two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Motivation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Perseverance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Innocence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Basic Strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Time Changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Beautiful Moment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tides Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Neves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Smile Turns to Laughter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Repetition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Return to the Father\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"CITY HALL RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44506094633181,"sku":"805558288821","price":16.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/4290116-3092464.jpg?v=1727289675"},{"product_id":"david-friesen-a-light-shining-through","title":"David Friesen- A Light Shining Through (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough a major international jazz figure for decades, it wasn't until 2015 that a tour allowed bassist-composer David Friesen the opportunity to visit his mother's ancestral home of Ukraine for the first time.

With it's two CD suites complementing each other so fully, it's an epochal achievement - a testament to the offers of faith, matched with a purposeful life. Disc One is a 13-piece solo performance on his Hemage Bass, which calls attention to the intimacy and immediacy of his compositions. The solo piano of Disc Two highlights Friesen's supple touch on an instrument he's not generally known for. Closing the set, the composition \"My Faith, My Life\" sums it all up: a credo, affirmation, reverence - lower register continuity laced with sublime melody: a hymn to the Source of all song, with a fitting Amen at the close.\"One of the most eminent exponents of the instrument, he maintains an astonishing level of virtuosity.\" - LOS ANGELES TIMES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncient Kings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnother Anthem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren Of The Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof Tops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor Pool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Trip Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSitka In The Woods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMartin\u0026amp;#39;s Balcony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrelude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSons And Daughters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIslands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlight Of The Angels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLament For The Lost \/ Procession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Light Shining Through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAraya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill Waters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResurgence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight From Wrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnother Time, Another Place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Rolls-Royce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerseverance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Hope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong For Ben\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly Just Yesterday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvening Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Faith, My Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46983622754525,"sku":"805558276828","price":18.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3831424.jpg?v=1762925755"},{"product_id":"david-friesen-testimony","title":"David Friesen- Testimony (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOnce in a great while, a musician emerges with such authority and such seemingly effortless originality that his place in the front ranks of his instrument is unquestioned. So it is with David Friesen. - Nat Hentoff. A major international jazz figure for over 50 years, bassist-composer David Friesen continues his unflagging process of creating new defining works, with the ambitious, expansive, and deeply personal musical explorations found on Testimony. Through the desire to better understand his Mother's Ukrainian heritage, and with inspired leg-work from his Czech-based assistant, Natalie Digtyar, Friesen found himself on a 2015 tour of family landmarks in Smila, Ukraine, fully researched and led by a television crew and the local historical museum. Meeting Oleksandr Pirozhenko, director of the National Academic Symphonic Band of Ukraine, set in motion the collaboration heard here, beginning with a sold-out 2016 \"homecoming\" concert in Smila's Concert Hall, followed by this live recording from Kiev's National Philharmonic Hall in December, 2018. Arrangements of Friesen's profoundly spiritual compositions unfold, offering passages exploding with orchestral grandeur alongside lone whispers from solo piano, vibes or bass, and intimate quartet vignettes, all reflecting the myriad emotions exposed through his journey of ancestral discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrelude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill Waters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeaningful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistant Shores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTribute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnother Time, Another Place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Never Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep South Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Faith, My Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake Believe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Ballad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoing Forth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePumpkin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Hope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLament For The Lost\/Procession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46983775289565,"sku":"805558280924","price":18.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3863152-3034389.jpg?v=1762926055"},{"product_id":"david-friesen-day-of-rest","title":"David Friesen- Day Of Rest (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e... melodies are tossed around, now feather-light and wispy as cirrus clouds; or melodies that turn dense with sonic narratives, like foreboding cumulonimbus clouds. - Raul da Gama. Those acquainted with legendary bassist David Friesen's music can easily re-submerge themselves into his creative universe when experiencing a new performance. Ocean-deep in his sensitivity to the human spirit, Friesen is compassionate and his music founded on integrity and the pursuit of excellence. Though he's recorded numerous times on piano as an added voice to his compositions and bass playing, \"Day of Rest\" is the first where he's moved the piano to the front as his sole method of expression.
