A virtuosic veteran of NYC's downtown scene, Cellist Erik Friedlander has backed John Zorn, Laurie Anderson and Courtney Love. As composer and performer, Frielander blends his vision of what the cello can be pushed to do, while maintaining a firm grasp on traditions, both improvising and classical. His latest CD, "Block Ice & Propane," is inspired by Friedlander's childhood memories, when his photographer father would take the family on summer road trips in a '66 Chevy pickup which included a camper on top — and the amenities of the album's title.
